Mill Race Red 2022
R180.00
Succulent red berry notes and fine tannins.
An opulent red blend that delights, with lashings of red berries and dark chocolate shavings. The texture is velvety with a plush finish.
Best paired with a bowl of creamy risotto or peppery grilled fillet.
ORIGIN
Sourced from north- and north-westerly vineyards at Vergelegen, where soil types of granite, Hutton and weathered shale dominate.
VINIFICATION
Grapes from various vineyards were hand-picked and sorted. The grapes were then fermented in stainless steel tanks of various sizes, using a combination of different yeasts according to the varietals and soil types. Post-fermentation, according to the varietal, we used various extended skin contact treatments. Post-skin contact, malolactic fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks, and wine was taken to barrel. We used 15% new French oak of various sizes, where the wine was matured for 12 months, then blended and bottled.
