OLD ROAD WINE CO. LIMITED RELEASE PEPPERWIND SYRAH 2017
South Africa, Franschhoek
Syrah
Description
The grapes used to make the wine were hand-harvested in small bins at optimal ripeness. Grapes received extended skin contact for optimal colour and flavour extraction before being racked to the barrels for fermentation. After primary fermentation the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in the barrels before 18 months' maturation in the same second and third fill French oak barrels. An intense wine with layered ripe berries, natural spice and exceptional structure. It is characterised by an excellent balance between bright, juicy fruit and integrated, spicy oak, with a coated acidity and earthy minerality.
