L'Amour Toujours 2007
Hermon, Piekenierskloof, Stellenbosch
Fermented in tank with temperatures peaking at 28 °C. Post fermentation maceration for 2 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in barrel. 12 months French oak. 60 % of the barrels were new.
The generous character supplied by the dark sensual Cabernet fruit is perfectly balanced by the supple structure of the Merlot and Grenache. Shiraz lends spice and complexity to this fine wine.An elegant well structured wine: fynbos, rosepetals, raspberries, cedar wood and cloves on the nose. Mocca chocolate, red berries, stewed fruit and spices on the palate. Recommended dishes: Rib-eye steak simply grilled with smoked rocksalt and served with hand-cut chips and Béarnaise. Rich beef casserole oven baked until tender and reduced.
