Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: 725 Cabernet Franc 40% · Syrah 37% · Merlot 11% · Cabernet Sauvignon 10% · Petit Verdot 2% Keermont Vineyards is a specialist wine estate set in the naturally-formed amphitheatre between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch Mountain ranges. Selecting the best fruit from several vineyard sites on the farm, we create a blend each year which is distinctive, unique, and portrays the character of our superb terroir. This blend is Keermont Amphitheatre. All grapes used in producing our wines are grown on Keermont Vineyards. The vineyards grow on deep red clay rich soil derived from sandstone and granite and are surrounded by indigenous mountain ‘fynbos’ vegetation. Vineyard aspects vary from Northeast through North to West facing and they lie between 250 and 400 meters above sea level. This variety of slopes gives us complexity in our vineyards resulting in complexity in our wines. Small batches of grapes are specifically selected according to ripeness, harvested by hand and vinified separately. This process is carried out gently and naturally in open top fermenters using traditional methods only. This wine spent 27 months maturing in seasoned French oak barriques (first, second, third fill) before being bottled by hand without filtration on 28 June 2021. 2730 bottles and 49 magnums were produced. The Keermont Amphitheatre 2019 lay in bottle in our cellar for 5 years before release to ensure integration and maturity.
