Bredell Cape Vintage Reserve Port 2007

Dark, crimson and voluptuously rich. Christmas pudding, dried fruit, mocha, mint and spice.

Flavours of the east, decadence of the west. Stilton cheese and roasted nuts to enhance the balance, the dry finish and the lingering aftertaste. The perfect climax to a splendid meal.

AWARDS

John Platter Wine Guide - 5 stars
in the vineyard : Four cultivars were used in the making of this port. The grapes originated from dry land bush vines.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness and yielded 8 tons per hectare.

in the cellar : Each cultivar was harvested, fermented and aged separately. Fermentation took place by means of the WE 14 Yeast clone at 24° - 28° Celsius. The Skins that formed the cap were manually punched through every 2 hours. Fortification took place after the wine was separated from the skins.

After 2 years of individual ageing in old 300 litre oak barrels, the cultivars were blended into the success that is the 2007 Bredell's Cape Vintage Reserve Port.
