KLOOF STREET RED BLEND 2014

MULLINEUX & LEEU FAMILY WINES

After being cooled, ¾ of the grapes are separated from the stalks, and a small amount of SO2 is added, respecting the production style typical of this cellar which chooses not to use any other quantities of SO2 during the wine making process.

The must is pressed once a day.

Fermentation starts on the fourth day, using indigenous yeasts, the wine being pressed once or twice daily as needed. Temperatures are always kept below 28°C.

Depending on the needs, maceration can last between 4 and 6 weeks. The wine is then aged for 11 months in third and fourth pass barrels, both in 225L barriques, and in 500L demi-muids.

In the style of the Rhône Valley wines, the nose reveals warm notes of violets, plums and blackthorns with an intense spice finale.

In the mouth, this refreshing wine has a medium body characterized by soft tannins. It has a good propensity for food pairing.

The finale always persists with spice aromas.
