The Mourvèdre (18%) was picked very ripe to allow soft, round tannins to be extracted during fermentation in stainless steel.\u003cbr\u003eAfter fermentation, the two components were taken to second-and-third-fill French Oak for natural malolactic fermentation and maturation, where the wine spent 26 months before a light filtration and bottling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite pepper, violets, and warm earth on the nose, with intense dark berry fruit. The palate shows dense, savoury flavours contrasted with bright acidity before the robust finish. There are multiple layers of texture in the wine, with lovely balance between the richness, chunky tannins and lively freshness. A wonderful pairing with slow-cooked winter foods like Boeuf Bourguignon or pulled pork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"platter-rating\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stony Brook Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43983223947363,"sku":null,"price":960.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/5640\/7907\/files\/SMV.webp?v=1736332912","url":"https:\/\/vineyardvault.co.za\/products\/stony-brook-smv-2019","provider":"Vineyard Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
