CWG Teen die Hoog Shiraz 2010

Intense Shiraz fruit with lots of red berries and mulberries. A combination of wild herbs, violets and white pepper aroma, distinctive of the high lying red slate vineyards. A firm structure with sweet spice and roasted coffee bean flavours that linger on the palate. A wine to mature and develop superbly over the next 4 to 8 years.

in the vineyard : 'Teen die Hoog' Shiraz vineyards located more than 1000m above sea level. The highest vineyard in the country is on a cool south easterly facing red slate hill. The name given by the farm workers as it reminds them of the toughest pick of the season. The Cederberg climate allows for a long ripening period providing us with grapes picked at a great phenolic ripeness, which normally takes place early April.

in the cellar : Cold maceration for 4 days was followed by pump overs every 6 hours. The wine went through malolactic fermentation in new French oak where it matured for 15 months. Unfiltered, this is a selection of the best 3 barrels.
