DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• 100% Syrah • Grown on the Schisty slopes of Kasteelberg or 'Castle Mountain' on the Mullineux's farm, Roundstone • These rocky soils limit vine size and so the clusters and individual grapes in turn remain smaller with high skin-to-juice ratio, offering denser, more brooding tannins • Hand-harvested in February during a cool morning • 100% whole bunches were immediately foot-crushed into 500L barrels • Fermented with indigenous yeast and only hand plunging was performed for completely gentle extraction - just enough to keep the cap wet • After 4 weeks, it was racked and pressed back to the same open top barrels to complete tannin development and allowed its dark perfume to flourish • Aged for 12 months in 50% new and 50% 4th fill 500L French oak and then another 10 months in 2000L Foudre before being bottled unfiltered
