Petit Verdot Reserve

A perfect partner to your herb crusted lamb kebab.

Wine aged in French oak for 24 months, 30% new barrels with the rest in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels.

Fermentation initiated in a small, 4 ton open-top stainless tank. With limited quantities of this grape from a single block of vineyard on the farm, grapes were handled carefully, and fermented with commercial yeast. Pump overs and manual punch downs were done regularly to maximise flavour extraction. Wine is left on the skins after fermentation for 30 days to further soften tannins and integrate flavour.

Anura Vineyards is owned and run by Tymen, Jenny and Lance Bouma. Positioned on the foothills on the Simonsberg Mountains, Anura boasts a wide variety of soils, slopes and microclimates. This allows us to grow a wide selection of cultivars, some uncommon in South Africa, and also to match each cultivar with its ideal soil and microclimate. With each passing harvest we learn more about our soils and vineyards, and refine our vineyard and cellar practices in order to create the finest wines for our unique terroir. Our passion is red wine, and with plantings of Mourvédre, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Malbec, among more classic, locally grown varietals, we aim to produce handcrafted wines for individuals who are looking for something unique and distinctive.
