Description

Winemaker: Christoff de Wet
Appellation: Calitzdorp
Grape varietal: Tinta Roriz
Vineyards
First Tinta Roriz planted in the Klein Karoo was in 2008 on De Krans with 2010 being the maiden vintage. The vines are planted in dry arid shallow soils which drain of quickly towards the Gamka River, much like the Douro. All the vines are trellised and micro irrigated.
Winemaking

Grapes are hand harvested late February at 24o -25o Balling.  Bunches are destemmed, crushed and rapidly cooled in an open fermenter.  Grapes are inoculated with selected yeasts to start fermenting.  Skins are then pressed and the wine is left to undergo MLF before it’s racked into 6th and 7th filled French oak barrels.  The wine is matured in Barrels for around 12 months.

Winemaker’s comments

Colour: Beautiful deep dark red.

Bouquet: Vibrant nose of red fruits and spice. Complex earthy bouquet with roasted coriander, vanilla and cassis.

Taste: Full bodied red with savoury spice and earthiness. Soft red fruit flavours and chewy tannins.

Food pairing: Interesting, unusual grape variety to entertain friends. Serve with roasted lamb chops, Springbok carpaccio or pan-seared Kudu steaks. Good with all savoury dishes.
