Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
€27,00
Description
Stellenbosch has become synonymous with refined, complex expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. Once more, we proudly offer our Bottelary interpretation of this king of reds. True to its flagship nature, this is the perfect wine to mark important moments, or simply the end of a day at skemerlig — dusk.
TASTING NOTE
This wine boasts a generous nose of graphite, blackcurrants and dusty herbs. Elegant dark fruits and an intense perfumed nose makes this icon truly special. A fine grain of tannin gives tension and grip to this elegant Stellenbosch king.
IN THE VINEYARD
From the only North-West facing slope on the estate, promoting a cooler micro-climate. Vines planted in 2001 on weathered granite soils.
IN THE CELLAR
This Stellenbosch icon is hand-harvested and fermented until dry on skins after the must was inoculated with a cultured biodynamic yeast. The vineyards are on the only north-facing slope on the farm, thus promoting cooler ripening temperatures. The wine is pressed gently and stored in tank until after malo-lactic fermentation is complete.
Thereafter the wine is aged for 18 months in a mixture of 50% new, 25% second and 25% third fill barrels.
