Piekenierskloof

Medium

Cork

A small-batch experiment of two barrels: one destalked (for body) and the other fermented with stalks (softer, with more integrated tannins). The two were blended together and aged nine months in neutral oak. It's a substantial wine of two halves: perfumed red berries on one hand and more jammy confected fruit on the other, with balsamic-edged acidity and warm alcohol. Possibly needs a little more time to integrate?
