Kottabos Grenache Syrah South Africa Red Blend

 Kottabos is a Greek drinking game of the highest skill – where after many glasses of wine one elegantly flings the leftover lees from naturally unfiltered wine toward predetermined targets in the room with fellow drinking friends. Kottabos – in the case of this wine – is a small side project from Reenen Borman of Boschkloof, meant to capture a more experimental style than his Boschkloof label.

Tasting Notes

Perfumed with red and black fruits, fynbos, and white pepper, touched by earth. Juicy yet fresh, with bright acidity and grippy tannins. Layers of spice add depth to this bold yet refined blend.

Production Notes

Both varieties were handpicked and fermented in separate picking bins. The Grenache was fermented entirely whole-bunch, while the Syrah was entirely de-stemmed. After 12 days on the skins, the lots were pressed individually, and the Grenache aged in concrete while the Syrah aged in old oak. After 11 months, the wines were racked and blended without fining and bottled with just a light sheet filtration and a small dose of sulfur.
