Tasting note
On the nose, it shows red and black berries, tea leaves, violets and a touch of reduction, while on the palate it curbs its strength - with a beautiful purity of the fruit, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. It is focused and dense with a long and dry finish that promises good maturity.
Culinary recommendation
Serve with roast lamb shank, juicy rib-eye steak or a hearty stew.
Vinification
The vineyard used for the production of V is Stone Pine IV. This vineyard consists of two neighboring units in the west to the northwest on the inland slopes of the Schaapenberg. It is relatively sheltered from the prevailing breeze coming from False Bay and therefore enjoys a slightly warmer, but still predominantly maritime climate. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented in closed tanks at temperatures of 25-28°C. The young wine was macerated for 56 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was bottled in 100% new French oak barrels. The V was stored in these barrels for 18 months, after which it matured in the bottle for 48 months before this wine was released to the market.
