Rascallion Wines A Mothers Journey 2018 Stellenbosch
A delicious Shiraz sourced from Stellenbosch wityh bright dark fruits and plenty of spice
Rascallion’s Mothers Journey is made entirely from Shiraz sourced from Stellenbosch. Picked in late March then given a 3 day cols soak until a natural fermentation occurred. The juice was pumped over the skins twice a day to extract colour and flavour. After Fermentation the wine was pressed and run into stainless steel for its malolactic fermentation and then racked off into 2 to 4 year old barrels for 18 months aging.
A vibrant wine with a crimson colour and flavours of star anise, cardamom, and red peppers, with fruit flavours of red berries and red cherries. This full-bodied wine shows a tomato-ginger sweetness on the palate with elegantly layered tannins, fresh, fruity, freshness and a long lingering finish that is textured, composed, and elegant.
