About the winery

The grapes for this wine are picked from a solitary home vineyard on the Roennfeldt Road property at Marananga close Greenock. The vines are around 80 years old, and this is the smallest vineyard. The vines crop at 1.0 to 1.5 tons per acre of land and the grapes are singled out phenological readiness and flavour at a baume scope of 14 to 16º. This baume can create a naturally occurring high liquor, despite the fact that this will rely on occasional conditions.
Following picking the grapes are fermented in huge, shallow open fermenters, pumped over, chilled and squeezed through a wicker basket press. The free run and pressings are kept separate through development and mixed back together one week prior to packaging. Taking after essential maturation the wine is racked into barrel to experience characteristic MLF.The wine is left to develop in barrels (all new French hogsheads) for a sum of 36 months and after that packaged. The wine is normally not separated or fined preceding packaging, and is then left in jug to develop for an additional 24 months. This accordingly implies that the wine has been in barrel or container for in overabundance of five years preceding its discharge.

About the wine

The greatly focused and extravagant Roennfeldt Road Shiraz, is deep in color with extraordinary dark berry/ mocha/ dried plum/ dark coffee/ musky smells and flavours, chocolaty ready tannins and hidden appetizing notes. Fruit is drawn from vines planted in the early 1900s and is vinified in open block put fermenters and frequently plunged over. The free run wine and pressings are kept totally separate to build mixing choices. The wines are depleted and wicker container "squeezed off" into new prepared American oak hogsheads. Roennfeldt Road Shiraz is developed in barrel for around 36 months prior to gathering and packaging. In spite of the fact that the wine is extravagant, thick and rich, it has a convincing percussion and offset.
