Product information "Idiom Cape Blend 2019"

The idiom Cape Blend is a velvety and opulent wine from South Africa's own grape variety, Pinotage, blended with noble varieties. Lush and broad with complex aromas and flavours ranging from Black Forest Cherry Tart to ripe raspberries and ripe summer cherries. Velvety tannins and a lively finish characterize this great wine.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben für diese Rotwein-Cuvée wurden einer fünf Tage langen Kaltquellphase unterzogen, woraufhin sie in Tanks aus Edelstahl bei optimalen Temperaturen zwischen 22-28° fermentierten. Es folgte die malolaktische Gärung im Stahltank mit Holzstaven. Die verschiedenen Weine dieser Cuvée reiften zehn Monate lang separat in Fässern aus französischer und amerikanischer Eiche, von denen 45% Neuholz ausmachten. Nachdem die Weine verschnitten worden waren, reifte die fertige Cuvée noch weitere zwei bis vier Monate im Fass.
