Distell TWO OCEANS Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Western Cape South Africa
Description: Two Oceans wine takes its name from the two great oceans that converge at the Cape, the warm Indian and the bracingly cold Atlantic. The Cape’s coastal region enjoys a temperate climate, cooled by daytime maritime breezes from both oceans and a drop in night-time temperatures that allow grapes to ripen slowly – ensuring greater flavour. The Grapes are sourced from Stellenbosch, known as one of the finest wine-growing areas in the world, Wellington, Worcester as well as cooler-climate areas for pure concentration of flavour. Styled for easy drinking, the Two Oceans range of varietal and blended whites and reds shows how it is possible to fuse character with elegance to create well-proportioned wines that offer pure palate pleasure. The grapes were harvested by hand and machine, with each vineyard block being separately vinified. In each case, the juice was fermented at between 24° and 26° C. The juice was left on the skins for five days for maximum colour extraction. The skins were then removed, pressed and the pressed juice added back and then fermentation was completed. After malolactic fermentation the wine was blended in a ratio of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon to 35% Merlot. Winemaker Coenie Snyman says of this medium-bodied, smooth and very approachable wine made for early enjoyment that its nose offers ripe strawberry and cherry aromas carried through on the palate. (12 x 75 cl)
