The Phantom Grenache Red Wine South African Wine Dry South Africa (6 x 0.75l)
-
STORY: Artisan Rare Wines. Reduced to the essentials. Reduction is often the key to quality in viticulture. But sometimes limits that are too narrow can also be inhibiting and tie off creativity. Tertius Boshoff doesn't like restrictions, his gaze has to wander - outside the box and back to the essentials.
AGEING: About half of the harvest is fermented directly and the rest is manually crushed in open tanks for eight days. 16 months aging in French oak barrels.
-
AROMA: Intense color with a typical scent of red currants, sour cherries and some liquorice.
EVALUATION: It develops for hours in the glass and could easily be described as a slimmer version of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
SERVING RECOMMENDATION: With beef, mature cheeses and hard cheeses
Artisan Rare Wines. Reduced to the essentials. Reduction is often the key to quality in viticulture. But sometimes limits that are too narrow can also be inhibiting and tie off creativity. Tertius Boshoff doesn't like restrictions, his gaze has to wander - outside the box and back to the essentials. As he puts it: “In the beginning, the best wines were made by ordinary artisans who went into the forest and picked wild berries. Why do we think so complicated today?” Inspired by this originality, he launched his Artisan RARE Wines. The grapes for his Apprentice White Cinsault come from vines planted in 1964 in the Bottelary Hills. Some of South Africa's best Grenache wines come from the Piekernierskloof in the Swartland. A good omen for the Phantom Grenache, whose vines come from one of the oldest vineyards in the region. Only one barrique barrel was vinified from each of the two wines.
