Information about "Painted Wolf Pictus IV 2012"
The Painted Wolf Pictus IV is an incredibly elegant red wine cuvée of the Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache grape varieties. From medium to full-bodied, this sensational blend combines charm with powerful style and pampers the senses with delicious nuances of red berry fruit and fine spices. The finish is juicy and fruity with a long lasting and pleasantly soft finish.
Pictus is named after the scientific name of the African wild dog, Lycaon Pictus, which means wolf in Greek and painted or painted in Latin. The wines of the Pictus range are produced with the greatest care and blended from the best wines of each vintage. Each vintage of Pictus gets its own work of art on the bottle label, a "painted wolf". The artwork for Pictus IV is a study by the renowned South African conservationist and artist Keith Joubert. Permission to use the drawing was kindly granted by his wife Val. The production of Pictus IV was limited to a limited edition of only 2400 bottles. Painted Wolf Wines donates part of its turnover to conservation projects throughout Southern Africa.

Das handgelesene Traubengut wurde bei Ankunft in der Kellerei in kleinen, offenen Fermentern gequetscht und fermentierte unter Zugabe natürlicher Hefen. Während des Gärungsprozesses wurde der Tresterhut mehrmals täglich manuell untergetaucht. Bei erwünschtem Trockenheitsgrad ging es in die Presse. Abschließend reifte der Wein vor Abfüllung auf die Flasche 18 Monate lang in französischen Barriques, von denen 40% Neuholz ausmachten.
