Beaumont Mourvèdre 2006

Colour: Lighter than usual with violet tones.
Nose: Spicy, meaty aromas with a hint of sweet red berry fruit.
Palate: Lighter entry with fresh fruit and wood flavours. Liquorice, leather and spicy meat with the characteristic tannin core.
Description: The first winery in South Africa to bottle a Mourvedre. This unique wine comes from nine year old vines, very low crop load (3tons/ha). Harvested full ripe with six days of fermentation. Pressed directly into 100% 400liter French Allier Oak barrels and left for 18 months. No fining, just a clarifying filtration. The good acid and pH will allow this wine to age well.
