Product information "Hermanuspietersfontein Die Arnoldus 2017"
Deep ruby red in colour with a garnet edge in the glass, the Hermanuspietersfontein Die Arnoldus presents itself with a complex and lush bouquet of ripe plums, fine spices, herbaceous fynbos and black olives. On the palate, this remarkable red wine cuvée in classic Bordeaux style convinces with stunning intensity and fresh purity, resulting in a long and wonderfully lingering finish.

On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were first subjected to a 3-day cold swelling phase, during which the cap was immersed three times a day to extract maximum colour and aromas. The mash was then fermented at controlled 24-26˚C in stainless steel tanks. After the completion of both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the five grape varieties of the cuvée were blended and matured for 24 months in French barriques with a capacity of 225 litres per barrel and then for a further 12 months in a 3000-litre foudre of French oak. Before the wine is released, the Arnoldus matured for another 24 months in the bottle.
