THE MAX 2021
R245,00
This bold blend delivers power and poise in equal measure. Deeply aromatic, the wine offers an intriguing bouquet of crushed geranium, violet, and dark berry fruit, lifted by a cool streak of spearmint.
Description
The Shiraz (62%) and Viognier (2%) grapes were co-fermented with 30% whole cluster, carbonic macerated grapes to freshen up and give additional spice and fragrance to the wine. The Mourvedre (36%) was picked very ripe to allow soft, round tannins to be extracted during fermentation in stainless steel. After fermentation, the two components were taken to 15% new French Oak barriques for natural malolactic fermentation and maturation, where the wine spent 24 months before a light filtration and bottling.
