Maturation Period Carnation

Name: Simonsig FRANS MALAN RESERVE Stellenbosch RSA
Where it's from:  South Africa, Stellenbosch
Price per case: £84.49 
Bottles per case: 6 x 75 cl
Style: Soft & Supple Reds
Description: An average rainfall of 692mm saturated the soil during winter and bud burst was 2 weeks later than normal. Moist conditions during spring caused higher incidence of fungus diseases. Strong Black South-Easter in November caused poor berry set in some areas of Stellenbosch and this caused crop losses. Low night temperatures prevailed in January and February and this gave us good natural acidity. Rain during March threatened to spoil the Cabernet but a rigorous selection and a yield of approximately 8 tons/ha ensure the high quality of this wine. A deep ruby red colour. The typical strawberry flavours of the Pinotage combine with the intense carnation flavours of the Cabernet, without one dominating the other. A maturation period of 12 months in oak gives this wine a smooth mouth feel and the drier tannins of the Cabernet gives it a long lasting finish. www.simonsig.co.za (6 x 75 cl)

Southbank Estate Pinot Noir Marlborough NZ
Description: TASTING NOTES A complex amalgam of delicate red berries and plum, with the savoury nuances of old leather and earth. Time spent in French oak has also contributed additional toasty complexities to the wine's aroma. A complex mouthful of primary fruit and savoury characters with fine grain tannins providing structure and a silky texture. Will complement well-seasoned white meat as well as most red meat dishes. VINIFICATION Crushed and 100% destemmed, the Pinot Noir fruit was fermented in small open top fermenters following a short cold soak period. Primary fermentation commenced with the addition of cultured yeast selected specifically to enhance the varietal character of Pinot Noir. Regular hand plunging throughout fermentation allowed for gentle extraction of both colour and tannin. Once the fermentation was complete the wine was pressed off skins to barrel to undergo a full malo-lactic fermentation. Following MLF the wine was racked from the settled solids layer and returned to clean barrels to complete the maturation period. MATURATION Aged in new and seasoned French oak for seven months prior to bottling. (6 x 75 cl)
