Description

The Elpidios is produced in similar fashion than our main Grenache in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 50% on average whole bunches and then pressed off. After bottling, the wine is aged in bottle for 18 months before release. This vintage is again, based on grapes grown in granite soils from the Paardeberg, blended with structured shale/schists from the east, clay rich soils from the north and iron mixed soils from the west.

Blend: Grenache 33%, Syrah 31%, Carignan 12%, Cinsaut 12%, Pinotage 12%

A blend of 39% Carignan, 31% Syrah, 16% Pinotage, 9% Cinsault and 5% Grenache, the 2015 Elpidios is made from approximately 50% whole-cluster fruit, which lends the lifted aromatics of dusty rose, wild strawberry, dusty cherry blossom, hints of cherry drop, spiced potpourri and orange rind. Medium-bodied and showing impeccable balance, the wine has a mineral tension that keeps it fresh, with a focused, red-fruited frame, beautifully balanced structure, lifting tannins and energetic acidity. It ends with a long, tightly wound finish that continues to give pleasure long after the wine has left the mouth. This is beautiful juice! I can’t put down my glass!
