Producentens noter (engelsk): Syrah G IMBLETT GRAVEL S, HAW KE’S BAY 2 02 1 HARVEST DATA VARIETY VINTAGE DETAIL BRIX PRODUCTION LEVEL HAND HARVESTED 100% Syrah A very warm spring brought forward the growing season. Summer was mild but with minimal rain days, producing low yields. The result was near-perfect ripening conditions for Syrah. 22.8 average 28 hl/ha average 50% WINEMAKING WHOLE BUNCH DESTEMMED FERMENTATION VESSEL FERMENTATION NEW BARREL % BARREL TYPE MATURATION FINING FILTRATION BOTTLED 10% 90% Open top stainless steel fermenters and open top oak cuves Indigenous French oak barriques 23% 15 months Yes Yes - Coarse filtration Nov 2022 WINE ANALYSIS ALCOHOL PH RESIDUAL SUGAR ACIDITY 13.2 3.61 Nil 5.6 g/l TASTING NOTE: Deep red with a purple hue. Tremendous aromatic lift, with lavender and sweet cherries rising from the glass. The palate has significant density but a perfect balance that already encourages drinking. Again, so much energy in the 2021 wines but also a concentration due to the low yields. Delightful.
