Thursday, July 1, 2004 - Paarl Vintners Red Wine Tasting 2002 (Windmeul Cellars): (Tasted Blind): Aromas are herbaceousness with distinct nettles and minty notes. A medium-bodied wine that offers a satisfying mouthfeel and concludes with a lingering finish.
The grapes are sourced from the Philadelphia area. Young vines picked at 25 B. Blend of two blocks. Acid is added after malolactic, after which it spends three weeks in barrels. The pH is 3.55, and the TA is 7.09; Alcohol is 13.6%. For the fermentation, the tanks undergo a delestage (rack and return) daily, followed by pump overs with irrigation. The wine matures in 50% new and 50% second-fill chardonnay barrels. Used for their cab reserve and auction blend.
