RAAR Shiraz (Carbonic)
Sweetness:Dry
Grapes: Shiraz
About: Riebeek Cellars are a community of families located in the Riebeek Valley, pooling their resources in order to access the best quality land, fruit and winemaking technology with crucial, local knowledge of the land and its manifold challenges to bring the consumer the best Swartland has to offer.
A unique intra-cellular fermentation was encouraged by covering 100% hand-harvested, whole bunch Shiraz clusters with carbon dioxide, twice daily for 10 days, followed by a light foot pressing, just enough to allow pump-overs. Wild fermentation until dry was followed by a further 10 days of extended skin contact before pressing and then barrel matured in 500L older French oak.
Tasting note: Brilliant bright red fruit with a hint of warm spice. A firm acidity, balanced with velvety, supple tannin. Showcasing the playful side of Swartland Shiraz.
Character:Blueberry, black pepper, liquorice.
