BOSCHENDAL LARONE SHIRAZ MOURVÈDRE 2018
South Africa, Western Cape
Shiraz, Mourvèdre
Description
Young and vibrant plum, cherry and mulberry notes. Fruit mid-palate with spiciness. The Shiraz imparts a juicy fruit core while the Mourvèdre component softens and intensifies the mid-palate with discernible gummy fruit notes. An easy silky palate – well integrated and smooth, with a lingering dark berry fruit finish. Ripe tannin imparts good drinkability that offers a broad appeal.

Vinification
Fermentation differed according to variety, with fermentations taking on average eight to 10 days with regular but light pumpovers for colour and fine tannin extraction. All components were matured in older French oak barrels for subtlety and integration for a year before blending. The wine was bottled after a light filtration.
