mehrere Informationen

The Damascene Cederberg Syrah spoils the nose with a seductively inviting bouqeut of sour cherry and cranberry and subtle hints of sandalwood, fynbos and white pepper. On the palate, the aromas of fresh red fruits already sniffed out continue, underpinned by a riper hint of blackcurrant, which is enveloped by that of a graceful structure. Its clear and precise acidity and notes of fine spices finish in a lingering and pleasantly dry finish, giving a stunning pleasure experience. . This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

Syrah from the Cederberg plateau has a tremendous intensity and therefore you have to take your foot off the pedal in the winery to achieve wines that are balanced. The higher percentage of natural tannins in the fruit meant that only 30 to 60 er fruit was fermented on the whole bunch, depending on the parcel. The rest of the fruit was destemmed and fermented as whole berries. Fermentation took place in open fermenters and in two 1000-liter foudres, with over-pumping during fermentation limited to a maximum of two per day. All fermentations were spontaneous, meaning that the fermentation process was initiated exclusively by naturally occurring yeasts.
