WOLF & WOMAN Syrah is a captivating blend, showcasing grapes from two distinct vineyards. The first hails from northwest of Malmesbury, where vines thrive in rich, red, iron-rich soils. The second vineyard is nestled near the Riebeekberg Mountain, its grapes rooted in unique schist soils.
Crafted with meticulous care, all grapes were hand-picked and placed into crates before a 24-hour rest in a cold room. The following day, bunch sorting ensured only the finest grapes proceeded to open-top fermenters. Here, 80% of the grapes underwent a three-day cold soak before natural fermentation began. To enhance extraction, the wine received two punch-downs daily. After fermentation, the wine remained on its skins for 12 days, then was gently pressed and transferred to 500L old oak barrels. This vintage matured for 10 months, allowing its character to fully develop.
