L'Ormarins Optima 2005

The L''Ormarins Optima 2005 is an intense wine, balancing red berries, crushed cherries, spices with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. The fruit aromas on the nose complement the same flavours on the palate with hints of caramel backed by a firm tannin structure.

in the vineyard : After a careful process of identifying the top terroirs for each cultivar, sites were identified, assessed and then selected by our team of winemakers and viticulturists.
The vineyards were hand tended throughout the season, with individual bunches and canopies managed to their utmost potential.
Grapes were tested and tasted for ripeness by the winemakers and the viticultural team on a daily basis. Once all were convinced that the terroir and vintage expressed itself perfectly, we decided to harvest. Vineyards were selected from different sites in the Western Cape and each varietal paired to a selected soil, climate and slope.
