Silver Myn Argentum 2022 Tasting notes: A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine shows plum and cinnamon spice on the nose. Black cherry and mulberry fruit show on the palate along with spice, all leading to a well integrated, firm tannin structure. A fruit-forward and silky wine for everyday drinking. Analysis: alc: 14.56% / ph: 3.56/ TA: 5.5g/L / RS: 2g/L / VA: 0.47g/L Blend information: Merlot 53%; Cabernet Sauvignon 30%; Cabernet Franc 16%; Petit Verdot 1% Winemaking notes: Grapes were harvested by hand and berry sorted into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation commenced spontaneously and was finished with a pure strain. Extraction was done with a combination of punch-down, rack-and-return and pump-over methods. Batches were gently pressed and immediately racked to small French oak barrels and 4600L oak foudre where they completed malolactic fermentation. The components were racked three times to clarify and develop the wines. Blending took place after 12 months aging. Barrel composition: Older French oak barrels and 4600L foudre. Aging potential: This wine is ideally drunk young but should develop well with aging over a period of 5 years, if it is stored under optimum conditions
