ageing : Although already approachable, this wine has ample structure to develop depth and dimension on cellaring.
in the vineyard : Grapes were picked from 3 areas: Agter-Paarl, Darling and Stellenbosch. Soils are generally deep and well drained and yields are low (6 - 8 tons/ha). Bellingham Shiraz is chosen from prime vineyards for maximum ripeness and varietal expression.
about the harvest: Harvesting commenced when the grapes reached ripeness between 24º to 26º Balling ensuring maximum extract and soft ripe tannins.
in the cellar : Extra excitement and intrigue is added by an interesting co-ferment with a splash of Viognier (6%). After malolactic fermentation in barrel, the wine is matured in French oak for 12 months (40% new oak, 30% second fill and 30% third fill).
