Notes de Dégustation
Vin minéral et fruité de grande classe. Robe rouge profond presque noire avec des larmes brillantes et colorées. Elégant nez minéral plein de roses noires, mûres, myrtilles et baies noires de genévrier avec du poivre de sichuan fraîchement moulu. Texture raffinée avec des tannins puissants mais élégants, une belle acidité naturelle et une évolution très pleine avec une interminable et riche arrière-bouche fruitée et minérale. Partenaire de rêve de mets de caractère préparés avec respect: boeuf longuement maturé, gibier à poils en sauce, risotto à la truffe noire, fricassée de champignons des bois, légumes racines rôtis à la truffe et fromages frais et crémeux. Jusqu'à 5 ans, décanter de préférence une heure avant de servir. Température de service: 16°C.
Wine Story
Andrea and I settled in the Swartland as we knew this magic region had the potential to make truly world class wines from the special sites and Old Vines planted there.
The Swartland is a wild and beautiful place - the landscape is a series of rolling hills with a few significant outcrops of rock that form the Paardeberg and Kasteelberg mountains. With its ancient soils and dry climate, it is not an easy place to establish vines, and is a region that has as much of an influence on the vineyards and people who farm there as the people have on the land itself. We believe the primal Swartland landscape bares the souls of grape vines, and in those varieties that can take the ruggedness and intensity of the place, the true personality of a vineyard is revealed.
We do our best to bottle wines that honestly reflect the special sites that our vineyards are planted in, and to do this we follow reasoned farming and winemaking approaches. We only use composts we make ourselves from our herd of Nguni Cattle, we plant cover crops and use mulches to build the health and life of the soils our vines are planted in. We follow this philosophy into the winery where we only make use of the wild yeasts that come into the winery on the grapes and avoid the addition of acids, enzymes and other winemaking techniques that can mask the character of the vineyards.
We truly Love our wines and are so happy to have found a focused, down to earth partner like Frank who appreciates and promotes small, real, family run wineries. We are proud to have Matthys Wines as our importer in Belgium!
