Fairview Homtini 2022

R180.00 VAT Inc.

Youthful, bright cherry red in the glass. The nose invites with plum and mulberries, with hints of forest floor and oak spice. The palate is medium bodied with red berry fruit and warm spice flavours. Cool-climate acidity and firm, fine tannin structure makes for an age worthy wine. Will evolve excellently, keep for 5 – 8 years.

A winner for any dinner party. Homtini suits most Italian style dishes – be it rich tomato-based pastas or flavourful pork tenderloin.

Description

The Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz all come from Fairview’s Darling vineyards. They are dry land farmed and planted in deep, rich Oakleaf soils. Summer canopy management practices include suckering and leaf removal, ensuring optimal sunlight penetration.

The Sangiovese grapes were hand sorted and fermented in “foudre”, with a small percentage of whole bunches included in the fermenter. The other grape varieties were gently crushed (partial whole berries), destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with pump-overs occurring three times a day. After fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot spent some extra time on the skins and were matured for 20 months oak barrels and seasoned American oak. The Sangiovese and Shiraz is matured in older French oak barrels. The final barrel selection composition is 30% new French oak (from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). The blend is put together showcasing the best of the Darling region.
