Tamboerskloof, Rose, 2016

Beskrivelse

100% Shiraz, age of stock 13 year
Kleinood placeret I Helderberg området nær ved Stellenbosch.
Området er opvarmet om dagen og har kolde nætter. Druerne er plantet 172 – 198 meters over havet.
Dette er toppen af poppen og noget af det bedste jeg nogensinde har smagt.
Navnet Tamboerskloof kommer fra Valley (kloof) og trommer (tamboer)
A rose gold colored Rosé with strawberry preserve, papaya and hints of fruit salad notes on the nose, supported generously with flavours of tangerine, quince jelly, saffron and elegant white spice on the palate.
Chill to 13˚C and open 30 minutes prior to serving.
Starters, roasted beet salads, fresh figs with rich cheeses or seafood pasta and sushi
Grapes were handpicked between 20 and 23 degrees balling to obtain the full red fruit spectrum of the grape.
Hand sorted across our sorting tables before being destemming into INOX basket press. Juice was settled overnight.
Clear juice was racked off and 50% of the production was fermented in stainless steel tank and the other 50% was fermented in old 300L French oak barrels (5th and6th fill).
The wine was stirred during the short maturation phase, forcing the fine lees into suspension, creating a rich mouthfeel.
