Another fantastic wine from the skilled winemakers at KMV.This full-bodied wine explodes with aromas of rose petals, red cherries and raspberries with hints of lavender. The palate is focussed with an undertone of cloves, dried fruit and leather. The grippy tannin structure and zippy acidity is well integrated and delivers an intense, lasting finish.
This wine scored 90 points in Decanter earlier this year!
"KWV is one of South Africa's leading wine producers, renowned throughout the world for their premium quality. We're lucky to have been able to secure 35 bottles of this release and once it's gone, it is gone. Enjoy on its own or with beef Tenderloin, braised duck, wild mushrooms and aged Gouda."
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and hand sorted in the cellar to ensure only the best fruit was used for fermentation. After two days of cold maceration the juice was inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Alcoholic fermentation lasted approximately six days and during this time, the wine was pumped over every four hours. It was pressed, then settled and transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine was then racked and cleaned, and returned to barrel for maturation. After 12 months the best wines were selected to mature for a further 24 months. In total over the 36-month maturation period, the wine was racked twice. This wine is truly about selecting the best-of-the-best.
