Product information "Zonnebloem Shiraz Mourvèdre Viognier 2016"
In the glass, the Zonnebloem Shiraz Mourvè dre Viognier is deep purple in colour and a seductive bouquet of ripe plums, red fruit and subtle oak spice ensnares the nose. On the palate, full-bodied, lush and complex, nuances of dark fruit, ripe plums and an intense blend of delicious spices pamper the senses. Subtle hints of nutmeg and oak wood are surrounded by a taut tannin framework and provide for perfect pleasure.

The grapes from different vineyards were vinified separately. Each tank was subjected to an extended cold swelling phase of 3 - 5 days with subsequent fermentation at a regulated 26°C. After 10 - 12 days of fermentation, the wine was pressed from the skins after fermentation was completed and malolactic fermentation followed in barrels. The wine then matured for 12 months in a combination of mainly new barrels and second filled barrels of American, Hungarian and French oak.
