2017 RedHeads Studio Princess of Thieves GSM

Like all wines from Redheads Studio , this special wine also has a story. The Princess of Thieves tells the story of a fearless young lady who at night, when no one notices, sets out in search of a ruby-red treasure of unbelievable beauty. This ruby red wine steals everyone's heart with its seductive charms. The Princess of Thieves is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah. The Grenache comes from 65-year-old vines from the sandy-bottomed McLaren Flat. The Shiraz comes from Willunga and Sellick. The Mataro (Mourvèdre) comes from Ebenezer, in Barossa, of iron-rich, deep red soil. The grapes are fermented in open tanks, where the grape pulp is regularly pushed down. The wine is extensively soaked on the skins. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrels, 75% French oak and 25% American oak.
In the glass, the Princess of Thieves has a scarlet color. In the nose fresh red fruit with some raspberry jam and spices. In the mouth the wine is fruity, not too much tannins, warming and soft with raspberries, vanilla and cloves in the aftertaste. Long finish.

Serve at Lekker with a pumpkin risotto or a delicious fresh Pizza
