The Hermanuspietersfontein Skoonma is brick red in colour with deep violet reflections and exudes a stunningly complex bouquet of fine spices, fragrant violets, dark chocolate and dark fruit. His generous mouthfeel, his silky soft tannins and his incredibly long lasting finish provide absolute pleasure!
"Skoonma" is a word from the South African Afrikaans and means "mother-in-law", but this does not mean that you have to share this delicious drop with your mother-in-law ;-)

After a cold swelling phase of three to four days, the grapes fermented at a controlled temperature of 24-26ºC with the cap being immersed in stainless steel tanks up to three times a day. Once the alcoholic fermentation was complete, the malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrel. The wine then matured for 24 months in French barriques and another 9 months in the bottle before being released for consumption.
