Savage WinesThief In The Night 2019
Dry, Medium Bodied style of 61% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 13% Syrah
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of 61% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 13% SyrahThe wine spent 2 weeks on skins, 20% as whole bunches in order to
maximise the fruit’s true expression. All components were picked on the
same day from the same property in the Piekenierskloof and co-fermented.
The blend was aged in one 3400L foudre for 11 months before bottling.
With a fabulously crystalline, translucent ruby red colour, this wine is sassy
and confident from the get go, showing a rich, deep, savoury spicy aromatic
depth of autumnal leaves, freshly cut hedge row, sappy earthy black cherry
fruits and a subtle peppery broody depth. Yet again, the compact signature
2019 palate texture density and harmony is unambiguous. A seamless fruit
– acid balance and a savoury earthy red currant and bramble berry spice
complexity asserting itself on the long, plush, polished finish. This is the
most confident and accomplished expression of the Thief in the Night to
date. Drink from release and over 3 - 8 years.
