Morgenster Lourens River Valley 2019

Morgenster Lourens River Valley 2019

R250,00

Lourens River Valley is a beautifully complex wine, masterfully crafted from classical varietals of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Excellent quality from soil, to cellar, to bottle. It’s the perfect blend to celebrate the everyday joys of life.

Vibrant notes of raspberries, sour cherry and cassis are enhanced with hints of cloves. Classic pencil shaving afternotes further attest to the elegance of this Bordeaux style wine. A well-balanced acidity with integrated tannins, finished off with lingering notes of red and black berries.

More Information

In the cellar

18 months in French oak barrels with 25% being in new oak, 15% in second fill, 30% in third fill and 30% in fourth fill barrels.

In the vineyard

Slightly later budding followed a very dry winter, record low levels of spring rain and a dry January. A drop in temperatures and cold nights mid-February slowed down sugar accumulation for a few weeks, allowing for fruit expression and structure to integrate beautifully.

Ageing

18 months

Cultivar

32% Merlot; 30% Cabernet Sauvignon; 24% Cabernet Franc, 14% Petit Verdot

Food Pairing

This wine pairs beautifully with big bold meaty dishes. It will also complement delicious, flavoursome meals such as duck and ostrich. A great match with pasta al pomodoro and a rocket & basil salad.
