Meinert Synchronicity 2003

Name: Meinert Synchronicity 2003
Brand: Meinert
SKU: 12932

Deep, densely coloured, brick red with purple tints. Classical wild berry, cedar and cigar aromas are well supported by sweeter, plummy, mulberry whiffs. A big, rich wine that already has a silky, velvety mouthfeel and despite its power retains a fine and elegant core. Very complete, and balanced by its elements. It is unashamedly aimed at collectors and those seeking wines with character.

Slow roast guinea fowl with pearl onions and diced bacon, prime rib with a balsamic reduction, roasted springbok marinated in spices and red wine.

ageing : It is unashamedly aimed at collectors and those seeking wines with character. Intended for ageing, which we believe it will do very well until about 2017.

in the vineyard : Certain parts of the vineyards, identified during 15 years of living on and farming this property are earmarked for this blend. All the soils are deep well-drained loams of medium to high potential, classified as Hutton and Glenrosa. The sites benefit from their southern exposure within the centre of the Stellenbosch region. Average yield is 5 tons/ha and the vineyards were irrigated in 2003. Vines between 10 and 14 years old.

about the harvest: No yeast is added and fermentation starts spontaneously in closed stainless steel tanks. Extraction by pumping over. No extended maceration.
