Cape Winemakers Guild

Graham Beck Wines The Catalyst 2010

The grapes Syrah and Viognier were picked at absolute phenolic ripeness, jointly destalked and then cool soaked for three days at 12 degrees C. Co-fermented by natural yeast with an extended skin contact time of 12 days. The grapes were then pressed and taken to barrel for malolactic fermentation and barrel aging. Tasting Notes: Great primary fruit with black cherries and floral character. Great perfume notes with nice integration between the fruit and the wood.
