CWG Neil Ellis Wines Amper Bo Tempranillo 2017
R1350,00
Wine of Origin Bottelary
Whole-berry fermentation is initiated in a stainless steel tank. The grapes underwent a series of punch-downs and pump-overs until dry. Malolactic fermentation completed in new and second fill French oak barrels. This wine spent 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels and 50% in second fill.
Tasting Notes: A subtle nose reflecting dark and red cherries, violets, herbs and tobacco leading into a leathery finish. The palate is dense and complex, packed with dark berries and plum which unfolds with great length, freshness and balance, followed by fine, dry, yet smooth tannins.
