Nederburg Heritage Heroes The Brew Master Bordeaux-style red blend 2019

COLOUR Dark crimson. BOUQUET Appealing aromas of soft black fruits and cedar spice. PALATE Layered but well-integrated fruit and fine oak tannins. Gentle florality with elegance and harmony throughout. Supple and long.

The fruit for this wine came from top dryland and trellised vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec grapes were sourced from Paarl vineyards, while the Merlot and Cabernet Franc came from vines in Stellenbosch.

Each vineyard block was harvested at optimal ripeness, and the grapes individually vinified. The hand-sorted fruit was fermented on the skins in a combination of submerged cap, roto, open and combi stainless-steel fermenters. Upon reaching the desired colour and tannin extraction levels, the wine was racked into a combination of first-fill 300-litre French and American oak barrels and matured for 28 months. After maturation the wine was racked, blended and bottled.
