W.O. står ikke på arket; området er markens beliggenhed ifølge producenten (crystallumwines.com): Vrede-marken, Hemel-en-Aarde. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinification: Fermentation occurred spontaneously with no commercial yeasts added. There was a 70% whole bunch component with the rest de-stemmed but left intact as whole berries. Total time on skins was five weeks whereafter the wine spent 11 months in French oak barriques. 20% new oak. Tasting Note After a one year hiatus, this wine returns with a vintage that is bold, balanced and intense. Aromat-ics of red cherry, pomegranate and rhubarb lead to a full mid palate with notes of soy, dark choco-late and wild rosemary adding gravitas to the high toned fruit. Fresh, black tea-like tannins provide savoury grip and conspire with a saline edge for a textured and long finish. A landmark vintage from the Vrede site.
