Product information "The Drift Gift Horse Barbera 2017"

The Drift Gift Horse Barbera flows into the glass in a deep and dense violet and pampers the nose with stunningly concentrated aromas of black fruits, ripe mulberries and perfectly ripened cherries. Its wonderful notes of fragrant spices and herbs in the background clearly distinguish this wine from other wines. South African fynbos and garden herbs continue on the palate and play wonderful background music for the dominating flavours of dark, even inky black fruit on the palate. It is a rich and powerful wine, but with a lot of freshness, clarity and rich and soft tannins. Masterly handwork - a class of its own!

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut wurde einer ausgedehnten Kaltquellphase unterzogen, bevor die spontane Gärung einsetzte. Diese spontane, auch als „wilde Gärung“ bekannte Fermentierungsmethode, erlaubt keine kommerziellen Hefen, um den Gärungsprozess in Gang zu setzen. Diese natürliche Gärung setzt durch ausschließlich in der Umgebung sowie auf der Frucht vorkommende Hefe ein. 50% des Traubenguts wurde entrappt, während der restliche Anteil am ganzen Bund verblieb. Die in offenen Gärtanks ablaufende Gärung wurde von fünf- bis sechsmal täglichem Untertauchen des Tresterhuts begleitet, was für ein Maximum an Farbe und Geschmacksextraktion im Wein sorgt. Nach Abschluss der Gärung wurde der Wein in 225 l – Fässer gepresst, wo er 18 bis 24 Monate lang reifen durfte. Nach Abschluss der Reifezeit wurde der Wein unverfeinert und ungefiltert auf die Flasche gefüllt.
