The Saronsberg Shiraz presents itself in a glass of deep red-blue colour and exudes seductively delicious aromas of fragrant violets and fine spices. The palate is caressed by juicy ripe fruit nuances of black and red berries and a hint of exciting spices in the background. The mouthfeel spoils with a beautiful depth and a wonderfully clear fruit with well-integrated notes of oak and fine tannin.

Treatment in the cellar

After harvesting, the grapes were sorted by hand by the best trained staff on the farm. After the grapes were carefully pressed, they soaked for 4 days, protected by a CO2 cover. Yeast was added to the tanks and the fermentation was temperature controlled, while the cap was put under three times a day. The juice remained on the skins for 11-24 days. Then it was filled 80% in new French oak barrels and 20% in secondary stock. Malolactic fermentation took place on the yeast for 10 months, after which the wine was returned to wood barrels. After 20 months in wood, the wine was filtered and bottled.
