Sarmiento Red Blend 2025 (Case of 6 bottles)

Wine of Origin: Paarl

Cultivars: Shiraz, Grenache noir, Carignan (Rhône-inspired blend)

Vineyard:

Shiraz from Paarl on koffieklip soils. The Grenache noir from the outskirts of Paarl from more weathered granite soils. The Carignan is from Wellington planted as bush vines.

Winemaking:

Each parcel fermented naturally with 10% - 15% whole bunch, remainder destemmed. Pressed off skins and aged for 16 months in older 225 L French oak barrels before final blending, filtration and bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Layered and spice-driven. Dark berry, dried herbs, cracked black pepper and a note of forest floor from the whole-bunch component. Medium to full - bodied with fine-grained tannin and a savory finish that carries.
