mehrere Informationen

The Rijks Pinotage Syrah flows into the glass in an intense red colour and exudes lively complex aromas of white chocolate and Turkish honey. While the Pinotage in this cuvée provides full fruit expression and richness, the Syrah brings great structure and an exciting blend of fine spices into play. On the palate it is very creamy and ends with a finish of well rounded and ripe tannins. The perfectly integrated oak wood notes give the wine spicy wood nuances, which combine perfectly with the intense fruit of this wine. Elegance, finesse, complexity and an exciting fruit concentration characterize this full-bodied and exciting drop. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

After a two-day cold swelling phase, the grapes fermented by immersing the cap three times a day in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to barrels where the malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine then matured for 22 months in French and American barriques. After bottling, the wine matured in the bottle for some more time before being released for consumption.
