L'Amour Toujours 2008

Western Cape/Franschhoek

Selected grapes were sourced from the pristine growing areas and sorted before crushing. 4 days cold soaking to enhance colour and fruit potential before being fermented in tank with temperature peaking at 28 °C. Post fermentation maceration for 2 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in barrel. 14 months French Oak; 60 % new.

Rich dark red colour. The nose welcomes you with intense fynbos, cinnamon and clove aromas. This is followed by nuances of cedar wood, mocha and coffee. The palate is well structured with flavours of red berries, chocolate and stewed fruits. An elegant wine that will age well over the next 5 to 7 years. Recommended dishes: Rib eye steak simply grilled with rock salt hand-cut chips and Béarnaise. Delicious oxtail botjie with homemade bread on a rainy winters day.
