December 6, 2013 - Tasting of historically interesting South African Wines (Auslese, Cape Town): Situated in the Bottelary Hills, this farm had good general viticulture but possibly wasn’t ameliorated with lime, so the naturally low pH soils tended to give low acidity to the wine. To alleviate this problem and retain any acidity in their wines, they did no MLF in the red wines - common across several farms, not just to Bertrams.
Light to medium brick red, the bouquet is tar, roasted and raw meat, coal and very smoky. Clearly developed, the savoury nuances on the palate are accented by lively acidity and white pepper.
