Joubert-Tradauw Syrah
Product Code:
Of the J-T range this is the jewel in the crown, the stitch in time, the needle in the haystack, the prince and the pauper, The Lord of Rings Part 3 - the Return of the King - nay the King of Shwing, if you take my point. Syrah doesn't come much better than this handsome, noble wine sporting as it does dark, spicy, meaty outer garments whilst coquettishly concealing a core of the purist of pure black fruits. Undress it and see for yourselves.
Tasting Notes : Fruit, fruit and more fruit. Every berry imaginable is present plus supporting hints of cedar on the full-bodied palate. However, this is not a big, aggressive in your face wine - it's much more classical.
Producer : Joubert-Tradauw
Method of Production : Different Syrah clones from different plots (though all from the J-T estate) were handpicked, destemmed and crushed as separate parcels. The grapes then spent three weeks or longer in open top fermenters (still in contact with their skins) to macerate and for fermentation to begin spontaneously. The wine was then transferred to oak barrels to finish fermentation and to mature on its lees for 14 months. The final cuvée was blended and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
