SMG 2008  

(65% Syrah :  25% Mourvèdre : 10% Grenache)

Mourvèdre and Grenache grapes were sourced from Malmesbury and Syrah from Agter-Paarl. The Mourvèdre and Grenache grapes were organically grown in shale soils and the Syrah from decomposed granite.  Vines were trellised on vertically shoot positioned systems. Grapes were manually harvested in mid-February at optimal seed and vine ripeness.

100% de-stemming with no crushing gave a whole berry component of about 80% in stainless steel fermenters. Local y easts were inoculated for primary fermentation that lasted for 14 days. Daily manual  punch downs for maximum flavour and tannin extraction were applied.

 The mash was basket pressed and gravity fed to 225 litre second, third  and fourth fill  Burgundy cooper French oak. The blend of Syrah (65%), Mourvèdre(25%) and Grenache (10%)  was lightly filtered prior to bottling after 12 months of barrel maturation. Read more.....
