Description

Grapes from a Helderberg bushvine vineyard planted in 1999 by Bredell’s grandfather. 90% whole-bunch fermented. Matured for 11 months, 90% in concrete and 10% in older 400-litre barrels. Quite pronounced tar-like reduction on the nose before red and blackberries, violets and pepper. The palate has excellent fruit purity, lively acidity and powdery tannins. Direct without being too linear, refined and harmonious. But for that reduction, this might have rated even higher… CE’s rating: 95/100.
