Product information "Grangehurst Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2007"
The Grangehurst Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a highly endowed red wine cuvée from the sunny slopes of the Helderberg and Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. With its deep ruby red colour in the glass, this first-class wine pampers with complex aromas of black and red berry fruit, cassis, mocha and fragrant violets. These aromas run seamlessly through to the full-bodied palate, where, together with smooth, soft and ripe tannins, they ensure absolute enjoyment. Exceptionally long-lasting and pleasantly soft on the finish, this special drop lingers long after the last sip.

After the grapes were destemmed and crushed separately, the mash fermented for a period of 9 to 14 days in open stainless steel tanks. During this period, the cap was immersed in the juice 4-6 times a day to ensure optimal extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the free flowing juice was separated from the skin and the skins were gently pressed in the traditional basket press. The resulting wine was blended with the free flowing wine and placed in both steel and small oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation was completed. The different grape varieties were kept completely separate and fermented for 25 months in 225 l French oak barrels before being blended and bottled.
