2024 Piekenierskloof Tannat

An opaque colour hints towards the concentrated nose of black and blueberries that opens up after the first swirl. This is complemented by dark chocolate and charry oak on the palate and completed by a soirée of high quality, ripe tannins.

Characteristics A good balance between red and black fruit, with notes of buchu, spice and toastiness. Well-structured tannins, making it a great companion for hearty dishes.

Wine making Grapes are handpicked and cold soaked for 24 hours. Fermentation is initiated with selected yeast strains and is kept under 26°C.  During fermentation the wine is pumped-over regularly with splashing for oxygen. Malolactic fermentation is co-inoculated with alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then matured in older french oak 225L barrels for 12 months.

Food pairing This wine goes well with beef steak or venison.
