Anwilka 2017 (75cl)

Details of production:

The Anwilka winery is located in the prime red wine area of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. The region benefits from pronounced maritime influence due to its proximity to False Bay, ensuring cooling breezes throughout the warm summer. Grapes were harvested in small crates from March until the third week of April. The bunches were sorted before destemming, and the berries re-sorted prior to crushing, with the crusher positioned above stainless steel tronconic tanks to allow for gravity-feeding. Lengthy pump-overs and extended maceration. Wines were then matured separately in 50% new French oak for 6 months before blending and then spent a further 9 months in oak before bottling.

Tasting notes:

Anwilka 2017 displays an intense, deep ruby core and ruby rim with fresh, vibrant and concentrated layered fruit on the nose. The palate is balanced with fresh acidity, supple tannins and elegant texture. Flavours of blackcurrant fruit, dark chocolate and toasted mocha are evident.
