mehrere Informationen

The Flagship Red from Stellenbosch Vineyards is truly a drop of the very finest! Wonderfully concentrated, it is a deep ruby red in the glass and exudes the senses of dark cherry and blackcurrant aromas. On the palate it is juicy, full-bodied and velvety with subtle undertones of sweet spices and plum, which end in a hint of fine dark chocolate. The finish is long lasting and thoroughly enjoyable! What a wine! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this particularly fine wine were harvested by hand and selected and sorted with great care for the further production process. The fermentation of the grapes lasted for 3 weeks and took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for an incredible 48 months in French oak barrels (60% new wood) and was lightly filtered before bottling.
