CWG, de wijnen

Dit zijn de door mij gekochte wijnen en de verkoopprijzen per fles incl. BTW:

Cederberg Private Cellar Semillon 2010
The grapes underwent skin contact for 12 hours and only free run juice was used. 70% of the wine was cold fermented in stainless steel. 30% was fermented in French oak for 4 months before the wines were blended to show fresh fruit with creamy lees character.
Tasting note: Distinctive cool-climate minerality with nettles and green fig, expressive of Elim provenance. The small proportion fermented in French oak has added complexity and length with smoky bacon aromas. Firm acidity for mouth-watering freshness. Ideally suited to food and fresh enough for solo enjoyment.
Prijs per fles € 30,-

Cape Point Vineyards Auction Reserve White 2008
Traditional handling in the cellar. Barrel fermented and aged for 11 months in 600 Litre French oak barrels where the wine underwent full malolactic fermentation. The wine received a light filtration before bottling.
Drink now or over the next three years.
Tasting note: The blend displays honey, oatmeal and citrus which follow onto a rich palate with good length and freshness.
Prijs per fles € 25,-

Simonsig Auction Reserve Shiraz 2008
These grapes come from a twelve year old vineyard grown on a deep red soil, yielding 8.5 tons/ hectare. Picked on 10 March at an optimal sugar level of 26 degrees Balling. Three days of cold soak were followed by another 28 days on skins, achieving perfect extraction of fruit and tannins. Oak maturation in a single new Francois Fréres Nevers oak barrel lasted 25 months, with the oak tannins perfectly supporting the fruit. 70 cases of this wine were sold on the 2008 Auction.
Tasting note: Delicate creamy mousse with roasted almond and buttered brioche flavours against a backdrop of lemon cream complexity. The toasty French oak adds depth of flavour and a masculine firmness to the structure.
Prijs per fles € 42,50

Cederberg teen die Hoog Shiraz 2008
The name “Teen Die Hoog” was given by the workers on the farm - not because they see this cold south-easterly facing red slate hill as the highest vineyard in the country, but because they see it as their toughest pick of the season. The grapes were picked with great phenolic ripeness at the end of March after a long ripening period. The wine went through malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels where it matured for 15 months. This wine came from a three barrel selection.
Tasting note: Power with elegance. Modern and delicious. Intense Shiraz fruit. Low-yielding red slate vineyards result in lovely roasted coffee beans, intense dark chocolate and spicy fynbos flavours. Velvety texture with supple, well balanced tannins. Impressive length. Will develop superbly over the next 5 to 8 years.
Prijs per fles € 56,-

AA Badenhorst Family Wines Auction Red 2005
The grapes were co-fermented together naturally. Traditional extraction methods were used during the fermentation, followed by a long extended maceration on the skins. The wine was matured in a cask for 36 months before being bottled without filtration.
Tasting note: Full bodied, complex, with excellent age-ability.
Prijs per fles € 34,-
