Intellego Wines
Our philosophy remains minimal intervention during the winemaking process and the wines are a celebration of the hard work done in the vineyard. For us, it is intuitive winegrowing, an evolution through experimentation on small pockets of land selected in the Swartland Appellation. Intellego’s true passion is the real work that happens in the vineyard with a hands-on approach, understanding seasonal influences and adjusting based on constant observation of the terroir. A big aim is to create optimum soil conditions through organic practises where the vines will be nurtured for an indefinite period of time, creating conditions for each block to have their own individual character. We grow grapes in an environment that is beneficial to the plant and its roots in this Mediterranean like climate. Mother nature has given us the opportunity to discover its true potential and by establishing vineyards on favourable sites we can express ourselves and at the same time contribute to a healthier environment.
Description
"48% Cinsault, 35% Syrah and 17% Mourvèdre, the first two whole-bunch fermented. Matured five months in smaller barrels and a further month in tank. Wonderfully aromatic with notes of cranberry, raspberry, a touch of rose, fynbos and white pepper. Light-bodied and pure with snappy acidity and a dry finish – more rewarding than the previous vintage, still great fun but that much more complete. " CE
