Beyerskloof Cape Blend 2007
Winemaking Notes Grapes were hand picked at optimum ripeness. The wine was made in open fermenters and was on the skins for 4-5 days at an average temperature of 26 °C. Punching of the cap was done every 2 hours to extract good colour and flavours from the grapes. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in 100% new French oak for 21 months. This Cape blend was barrel selected especially for the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction. Tasting Notes A full bodied Cape blend with an intense claret colour. A complex wine with loads of blackberry and dark fruit flavours in balance with oak. This wine has a good structure with a long aftertaste and a potential to age well in the bottle.
