Lowerland Wines
We produce small batches of natural wines in a remote, semi-arid, high altitude region of South Africa. Lowerland is a mixed, holistic, family farm that produces a range of soil to soul products in a holistic, integrated flow. Vineyards are certified organic with Ecocert. We collaborate with winemakers who employ natural, Old World techniques such as whole bunch and natural fermentation, basket pressing, manual pump-overs, and gentle maturation in older French oak.
Description
Perfume character with the red and blackberry aromas, followed by spicy notes that follows through to the palate with well-balanced, soft and rounded tannins – unexpected in a young Tannat. Black fruit followed by tobacco leaf. This vintage shows great tension on the palate; complex flavours supported by a freshness singular to the Prieska terroir.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with kudu fillet in a red wine reduction with thyme and rosemary potato gratin / lamb shanks or a slow braised oxtail potjie.
