Information about "Iona One Man Band 2020"
The Iona One Man Band showcases the cool, peppery spices typical of its climate, harmoniously integrated with robust tannins and layers of blackberries and dark cherries. This remarkable blend is anchored by Petit Verdot, complemented by 53% Syrah, Nebbiolo, Mourvèdre, and a hint of Viognier. Fresh mint and herbal notes intertwine with stony aromas, evoking the scents of Fynbos and fennel. On the palate, a seamless composition of mint, raspberry, plum, and black cherry unfolds, accented by firm tannins that impart depth and structure.
Vinification followed traditional methods. After hand harvesting, grapes were destemmed and sorted on a vibration table without crushing. Following wild fermentation, the cap was gently punched down twice daily to achieve desired extraction.
After fermentation, extended maceration took place; wines were regularly tasted to assess the level of extraction and determine the optimal pressing time. Post-pressing, wines underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrels, aging for 12-16 months in 500-liter French oak, 25% of which were new.
