2024 Piekenierskloof Heirloom Red

Characteristics Aromas and flavours of vibrant hibiscus, dark berries, violets, prunes, warm spices, liquorice, and herbal rooibos tea notes. A complex, full-bodied blend with a layered profile and seamlessly integrated tannins. Well-balanced, it offers a long, refined finish.

Wine making The varietals were harvested and fermented separately.  After malolactic fermentation the wines were matured in 300 litre French oak barrels - 25% new oak, 30% second fill and the rest third and fourth fill. The wines were matured in barrel for 10 months before the individual barrels were tasted and blended to create a harmonious blend that elevates each varietal.

Food pairing One could drink the Heirloom Red with practically anything from charcuterie to cheese - roast chicken, pork belly, lamb meatballs, garlicky sausages, grilled lamb and even turkey.
