Diemersfontein Summer's Lease 2015

This wine shows fragrances of blackcurrant and spice with light dried fruit and pencil shavings nuances. The ripe tannins of this wine ensure a firm elegant structure.

All red meats work well with the Diemersfontein Summer’s Lease, but it has a special affinity towards piquant game dishes and succulent lamb roasts.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness.

in the cellar : Grapes were vinified separately. The different varietals were matured separately in a combination of 3rd and 4th fill French-and American oak barrels for 12 months after which it was carefully blended (it took a couple of weeks to determine the perfect balance between the different identities of the different varietals!), stabilized and bottled.
