Information about "Keermont Topside Syrah 2018"
Displaying a deep plum hue, the Keermont Topside Syrah captivates with a remarkable bouquet of dark fruit, accented by delicate rose petals and hints of ripe strawberries and tea leaf. On the palate, it is soft yet juicy, boasting a robust and firm tannic structure. This prestigious Syrah reveals intense nuances of red fruits and sandalwood. The lingering finish showcases a luxurious balance of aromatic fruit, natural acidity, and the wine's structured backbone.
The Topside Syrah vineyards are situated on the steep, west-facing slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountain range (350m above sea level). The altitude and soil composition (sandstone and granite) significantly contribute to the wine's spiced character and refined tannin structure.
Das handgelesene Traubengut für diesen meisterlichen Syrah stammt zu 100 % aus Keermonts eigenen Weinbergen und wurde je nach Reb-Block und Reifegrad separat vinifiziert. Der Gärungsvorgang fand auf natürliche, traditionelle und besonders behutsame Art und Weise in offenen Fermentern statt. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 20 Monate lang in französischen Barriques (500 l) und wurde anschließend ungefiltert per Hand auf die Flasche gefüllt
