Carpe Diem Malbec 2021

VINIFICATION Harvested early in the morning.  The berries were “crushed” into and inoculated with yeast. Fermentation temperature at 24-26ºC. Combined pumping over and aerated racking ensured good extraction and colour stabilisation. Fermented till dry on the skins, the wine was racked to French barrels to complete MLF. Malolactic Fermentation lasted approximately 6 weeks after which the wine was racked and barrelled. Maturation period off 14 Months.     Winemaker’s comments On the nose raspberry and plums with undertones of tobacco with hints of vanilla on the palate followed with supple tannins. . Enjoy this wine with fine meat dishes like, duck breast and maple syrup, pork and honey mustard, and of course good company.
