Idiom ‘I’ – Iberico Blend 2016

R450.00

An elegant, medium-bodied Grenache-led blend. Dark and broody on the nose with savoury, meaty notes and hints of tar and liquorice. Red cherry and an iron-rich minerality (derived from clay and granite-rich soils) dominate the palate. A wine with rolling red and black notes and a long, lingering finish.

Garnacha (57%), Carinena (24%), Tempranillo (10%), Monastrell (9%)

Vinification Details

Grapes were crushed into bin liners for fermentation, after which they were pressed in a small basket press straight into 225L French oak barrels and then matured for 14-16 months. The wine was then lightly filtered, blended, and bottled.
