David & Nadia Elpidios 2022

產地：南非
產區：斯瓦特蘭 (Swartland)

This exquisite blend consists of 61% Grenache noir, 34% Syrah, 3% Carignan, 1% Cinsaut, and 1% Pinotage. The grapes for this Grenache noir-based blend are sourced from 12 different vineyards, harvested over 15 days during the vintage. The Elpidios features four components fermented and matured in concrete vessels: two lots of Grenache noir, as well as Cinsaut and Syrah. The remaining wine is matured in old 500L neutral French oak barrels and a single 4,100L foudré (Pinotage), both old and neutral oak components.

The winemaking process remains consistent with our main Grenache noir, involving long, gentle extraction, an average use of 40% whole bunches, and pressing off. After bottling, the wine is aged in bottle for 18 months before release.

This full-bodied, dry red wine boasts a beautifully balanced ruby color. It exudes enticing aromas of red berries, blueberry, dark plum, blackcurrant, and notes of vanilla and oak. The palate is treated to a long, fruity aftertaste with hints of black pepper and vanilla, making it a truly exceptional wine.
