mehrere Informationen

With its deep red plum tones in the glass, the Keermont Topside Syrah pampers the palate with a stunning bouquet of black fruits and a hint of fragrant violets as well as hints of white pepper. On the palate clear and elegant with a tight acidity, spicy fruit nuances and wonderful floral notes. The tight and slightly chalky tannin structure gives the wine a juicy and dry finish with naked nuances of red fruits, aniseed, fennel and a subtle mineral salinity. The Topside Syrah vineyards are located high up on the west-facing slopes of the Stellenbosch mountain range (350m above sea level). The altitude and soil (sandstone and granite) contribute to the spicy character and fine tannin structure of the wine. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes for this masterful Syrah come 100% from Keermont's own vineyards and have been vinified separately according to vine block and degree of maturity. The fermentation process took place in a natural, traditional and particularly gentle way in open fermenters. After fermentation, the wine matured for 20 months in French barriques (500 l) and was then bottled by hand, unfiltered
