Cederberg Teen Die Hoog Shiraz 2018
100% Shiraz
Wine of Origin Cederberg
Grapes are hand harvested from a unique red slate parcel against a southern slope. Berry sorting followed by 2 days of cold soaking in tank leads to an intense development in colour. During fermentation, two punch-downs a day of the grape cap with gentle pump-overs every six hours is completed for extraction. Extended maceration for two additional 10 days before light pressing. Barrel maceration for 15 months, thereafter a premium selection of only three barrels is made. 85% first fill, 15% second fill barrel. A wine of stature and elegance crafted from an extreme high-altitude mountain vineyard in the Cederberg.
Tasting Notes: This Shiraz shows great fruit intensity of red cherries with a subtle hint of sweet spice and violets. A full-bodied wine with structure and finesse.
The wine will be ready for drinking from 2025 onwards.
