Vrede and Lust Boet Erasmus 2007

Vrede and Lust Boet Erasmus 2007

Posted on: 07-28-2010 Posted in: The Vine

IWC Trophy for Best South African Red Wine 2010

Dominant Cabernet Sauvignon flavours and berry aromas, followed by pencil shavings and cedar on the nose. Layers of flavours with clean lines. A wonderful balance between the elegance of the wine and the ripeness of the fruit.

Cultivars are picked at optimal ripeness and fermented in Stainless steel tanks, with a portion completing malolactic fermentation in 225L oak barrels. The wine is matured in French oak (35% new) for 14-16 months.
