Lomond Cats Tail Syrah - 750ml

The winemaking. The hand-picked and hand-sorted grapes were de-stemmed and crushed into stainless steel tanks, fermented over 7 days, reaching a peak temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. The juice was pumped over every three hours for 25 minutes at a time. On completion of fermentation, the wine spent a further three days on the skins for optimal colour and flavour extraction. The free-run juice was then drained off and the skins pressed gently. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally. The wine was transferred into small new French Oak, where it spent 18 months. After racking, the wine was given an egg white fining and gentle filtration before bottling. Background Lomond wines was established in July 2004 as a joint venture between Distell and Lomond properties, whose shareholders include Wayne Gabb, Jannie Kuiper, and Dave Mostert. Lomond, in the Gansbaai area, is situated in the valley of the Uilenkraal river and located at a most southerly latitude -34 degrees celsius 34 south. It is one of a handful of wine farms within the Cape Agulhas appellation of origin. Winemaker's comments colour: Red ruby. The farm falls within the Winkler zone 2, with relatively little variation in day-night temperatures throughout the year.

Located about 8km from the sea, it is kept cool by the south-westerly and south-easterly winds during the summer months. The prevailing cool temperatures mean that vineyards ripen several weeks later than their Stellenbosch counterparts, with harvesting taking place towards march. Bouquet: Lots of berry and plum flavours with notes of white pepper and Oak spice. Altitudes vary, with some blocks around 50m above sea level, while others are located around 100m above sea level, with an unhindered exposure to the sea. However, even the lowest-lying vineyards still benefit from the cool maritime winds. Lomond's geological formations are unique. The intrusion of granite gives a totally different soil pattern to that of the surrounding table mountain sandstone formations, making for a very marked diversity of soil types on the farm. These vary from soils developed from ferricrete to pure white kaolin clay. The vineyards the vineyards are planted in north-west facing blocks on the lower reaches of the farm as well as within view of the sea, in sandy, gravelly and highly weathered soils with a clay substructure. The vines are trellised on a 5-wire hedge system and pest and disease control is managed according to the IPW rules and standards. Stand-by irrigation is adopted. The grapes were harvested by hand between 23.5 degrees Celsius and 25B, from one vineyard with a yield of 8 tons per hector Taste: Full-bodied, rich and elegant with subtle, soft tannins.
