Item Description
Tasting Notes
Soft, juicy and fruity with plenty of berry fruit on the nose and palate supported by firm but ripe tannins and crisp acidity. The birds evidently have very good taste.
Vinification Details.
The Firefinch Ripe red grapes were picked, destemmed and not crushed. We use Whole Berry Fermentation (not to be confused with Carbonic Maceration) with Natural Yeast on all our red wine.
Producer Information
Brother and sister team Abrie and Jeanette Bruwer are the complete opposite of your typical university trained have-cultured-yeast-will-travel flying winemakers. Their wines are all about their rocky, unforgiving terroir in Robertson and stand head and shoulders above most producers for sheer quality. Their obsession is reflected in Abrie’s philosophy; “I only want to sell wine I am proud of and I will only get a limited number of chances to do that in my life.”
