The Stellenzicht Thunderstone Red is an exciting composition of Cinsault, Syrah and Grenache and spoils the nose with an inviting bouquet of delicate perfume and complex aromas of red berry fruit, ripe cherries and savoury spices. On the palate, this delicious cuvée presents medium body, immense freshness and juicy red fruit, which combines superbly with hints of sweet spices and filigree tannin. Its balanced and supple finish is pleasantly mellow.

Hand-picked in the early hours of the morning, 30% of the grapes were fermented whole bunch. During fermentation, which lasted between seven and ten days, the wine was pumped over three times a day to obtain maximum aromas, flavours and colour in the wine. Some of the grapes received further contact on the skins after fermentation was complete before passing through the press and into the barrel. The wines matured for a total of 18 months in French barrique before blending and bottling.
