mehrere Informationen

The Hermanuspietersfontein Swartskaap is a pure Cabernet Franc with a complex bouquet of red and purple fruits, raspberries and blackcurrants combined with fine hints of black olives and green herbs in the background. The dense and fruity palate pampers with generous nuances of fine milk chocolate pralines and sweet herbal spices on the palate, ranging from rosemary and thyme to fine mint, giving a pleasant freshness. Smooth and full-bodied with lasting length, this exciting drop finishes in a soft and well-balanced manner. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were first subjected to a 3-day cold swelling phase, during which the cap was immersed three times a day to extract maximum colour and aromas. The mash then fermented at regulated 24-26˚C in stainless steel tanks. After the completion of both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, three of the Cabernet Franc were aged for 18 months in second French barriques with a capacity of 225 litres per barrel. Before the wine was released, the Swartskaap matured for another 12 months in the bottle.
