2016 Kloof Street (Mullineux Family Wines) Red Rhône Blend Swartland South Africa

Notes

Grapes for Kloof Street Swartland Rouge come from up to eight sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland, from vines aged 12-40 years. The blend changes each vintage depending on the character that best displays the classic Swartland style. The grapes are 75% destemmed and 25% whole-cluster pressed, and then fermented with indigenous yeasts and pigeage once or twice a day. Aged 11 months in 3rd and 4th fill French oak 225L barrels and 500L demi-muids. The nose is fragrant with undertones of red fruit, roses and hints of spice. Each variety in the blend adds balance to the wine, filling your palate.
