Samsara Syrah

Great with beef ribs braised in wine and herbs.

Samsara is made from Shiraz grapes of organically-grown vines that range from 17 to 25 years of age. They provide low yields of 4 to 8 tons of healthy, balanced fruit.

Malolactic fermentation occurred in 600-litre French Oak barrels, followed by 12-16 months of ageing before light filtration and bottling took place.

The grapes were harvested early, at 23º to 24 ° Balling. 10-15% were whole-bunch fermented for unique body and length. The rest were gently de-stemmed, tanked for 2-3 days, underwent natural fermentation, with warmer ferments at 30-32° Celsius for 7-10 days. Slow post-fermentation maceration lasted 25 to 30 days.
