Wildekrans Shiraz

Description

This wine is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in high-density vineyards with 3,500 vines per hectare, sourced from different plots on the farm with soils like Klapmuts, Wasbank, and Cartref. The vines are over 20 years old, contributing to the depth and character of the fruit. Harvested at 25 Balling, the grapes are handpicked and delicately crushed before being cold-soaked overnight. The next morning, fermentation begins with regular pump overs every 4 hours to enhance flavor extraction. After a light pressing, the wine is matured for 13 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, resulting in a well-balanced and richly textured wine.
