Shiraz 24

VINEYARDS: Shiraz is by nature a vigorous grower, so a 6-wire Perold system is used to manage the canopy. Our Shiraz is planted in deep Karoo and Shale soils that are rich in lime. Well balanced vines are harvested from mid-February from 22 specially selected grape growing families in the Robertson Wine Valley. This rich lime content ensures a healthy growing medium. Berry size is kept small by controlled irrigation.

WINEMAKING: Grapes were harvested at full ripeness between 24,5° - 26,5°B from a selection of vineyards with the average age of
vines between 10 to 12 years. The wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 28°C for 9 days to retain a delicate fruit component and to add body and weight. Eighty percent of the wine was aged on French Oak and twenty percent on American Oak for 6-8 months
