Cape Winemakers Guild

Grangehurst Auction Reserve 2015 (1.5L bottles)

The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed, hand-sorted, crushed and pumped to open fermentation tanks.  Manual punch-downs four to six times per day for colour, tannin and flavour extraction. Basket pressed and matured for 30 months in French oak barrels and gentle gravity-flow bottling.

Tasting Notes: Dark cherries; spicy liquorice with subtle vanilla notes. Dry entry with a rich mid-palate and a lingering juicy acidity. Well-structured ending with integrated ‘dusty-savoury’ tannins.

Ready for drinking from 2021 to 2030.

Winemaker: Jeremy Walker – Resigned Member
