WINEMAKING AND MATURATION

 The Salty Tongues Syrah 2024 is a 100% Syrah red wine from vines located 25 kilometres from the cold Atlantic Ocean, in Vredendal on the West Coast of South Africa.  Grapes are cooled down before being destemmed. The next morning, 30% of the whole bunches were put into open fermenters.

Fermentation started after three days of cold soaking and lasted for about two weeks, with pump-overs three times a day. The fermentation temperature was kept at 27⁰C. After fermentation, the wine was racked to 500-litre barrels. Ageing in a barrel was done for 12 months.

Bottled with the addition of a little sulphur, unfined and unfiltered.
