Information about "Spice Route Chakalaka 2021"
The Spice Route Chakalaka is a remarkable Swartland cuvée created with great care and expertise from six different grape varieties. With intense aromas of fine cloves, a subtle touch of white pepper, delicious hints of ripe plums and elegant spices, this first-class blend pampers the senses. The palate presents itself with an uncommon opulence, complex taste nuances and well-integrated notes of French oak. Its perfectly balanced tannin, its soft mouthfeel and its stunning depth are convincing!
Chakalaka is a Zulu word that means "commonality" and is also the name of an authentic South African tomato relish, which with its fiery, spicy flavour adds flavour to many local dishes in South Africa. A reflection of the Rainbow Nation, inspired by the cultural diversity of South Africa, of which the Spice Route is immensely proud.

Das Traubengut wurde handgelesen, komplett entrappt, leicht angequetscht und anschließend in offenen Beton-Tanks vergoren. Während der Fermentierung wurde der Tresterhut regelmäßig per Hand untergetaucht. Nach Abschluss der Gärung wurden die Weine der unterschiedlichen Rebsorten separat in Fässer aus französischer und amerikanischer Eiche gefüllt, wo die malolaktische Fermentierung ihren Abschluss fand. Die Weine reiften eine Gesamtzeit von 12 Monaten im Fass, bevor sie verschnitten wurden und anschließend als fertige Cuvée eine zweite Reifung im Fass durchliefen.
