{"product_id":"boschendalgrandesyrah750ml-47785","title":"BoschendalGrandeSyrah750ml","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;In the Vineyard\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt; Syrah or Shiraz is the work horse Red varietal in the Boschendal range and the Grande Syrah epitomises the best of what we can do with Syrah. It comes from a very special vineyard of weathered granite soils on the south-facing slopes in Helderberg, Stellenbosch. The vineyard is unirrigated and farmed for seriously premium quality grapes, which includes amongst others a strict pruning regime and bunch removal to ensure that only the finest grapes are selected for vinification.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Vinification\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The grapes are hand-picked and hand-sorted on arrival at the cellar. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel and the wine is made using a specially selected Rhône-style yeast with the fermentation temperature between 24-26°C. Regular pump-overs every 8 hours allowed the extraction of tannins and colour. ­e Grande Syrah was aged for 14 months in 1st to 4th fill French oak 300L and 500L barrels (30% new). ­The Grande Syrah was blended in a 2500L Foudre to age and integrate for a further 6 months.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt; Its brilliant dark crimson colour with enticing spice and exotic fruit notes ignites the senses from the outset. Delicious oak spice and a typical cool-climate Syrah pepper persist onto the palate, which is young and lively, combining juicy Shiraz purity of fruit with restrained Old World elegance. A seamless integration of oak spice and oak tannin adds depth drinking experience.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt; Food Matches\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt; Rich mutton casseroles; slow cooked beef stews and roast and spicy barbeque lamb uth-facing slopes in Helderberg, Stellenbosch.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Awards\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Platter’s Guide – 4.5 Star ~ 93 points\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Vivino – 4.4 from 5\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/ul\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45134191526070,"sku":"47785","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/boschendalgrandesyrah750ml_47785_01_07de5dd1_30812693-947d-43e8-8668-ee533d31c61f.jpg?v=1779200901","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/boschendalgrandesyrah750ml-47785","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
