Senga Shiraz
Senga are carefully crafted wines; meticulous attention in the vineyards yields quality fruit, while traditional winemaking methods allow the wines to develop their rich character. All the fruit has been carefully sorted before fermentation and then allowed to mature for 18 months in small French oak.
Grapes were hand harvested. Grapes were cooled and given a cold soak (maceration) for 2 days. Must was inoculated with South African commercial yeast. Fermentation took place in Stainless-steel tanks over 7 days with both closed and open pump-overs. Just before dryness wine was racked to barrel to finish fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was completed in barrel. Wine was matured for 18 months in small French oak barrels, 30% new.
