Springfontein Daredevil Broken Bunches 2020
Springfontein Daredevil Broken Bunches 2020
As the name of the wine “Bunches Broken” states, grapes for this wine were uniquely ripened by
snapping the stem of bunches and left for two weeks hanging on the vine. This resulted in concentrating
flavor compounds, colour, organic acids, sugars and tannins. This unique ripening was controlled to still
retain grape freshness and not over ripen the fruit. Grapes were carefully selected and harvested by
hand and cold soaked for a few days before fermenting whole bunches with indigenous yeast species.
Slow fermentation was completed in 1,000-litre open fermenters and the wine matured for 20 months
in 40 % first-fill and 60 % third-fill oak barriques
TASTING NOTES
Prominent dark fruits spice and sweet notes on the nose. On the palate the wine is packed with
concentrated fruit layers and soft juicy tannins. This wine will continue to evolve in years to come.
