Description
Stellenbosch – Shiraz, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese
All three cultivars are handpicked and cooled down. After fermentation the wine is allowed to settle clean. Shiraz and Petit Verdot go into 500l old Burgundian barrels and the Sangiovese will be blended into the previous vintage Charisma – meaning, for example, in Charisma 2018 the Shiraz and Petit Verdot are 2018 vintage but the Sangiovese is the 2019 vintage. The idea with this is to blend that beautiful freshness and Italian passion into the wine. Shiraz and Petit Verdot are aged for 12 months before blending and bottling.
The Charisma 2018 is an ingenious creation at the hand of Cellar Master, Nico Grobler, inspired by his travel experiences across the globe. The Shiraz (Rhône Valley) lends a tight, fresh structure with aromatic and seasoned undertones. Petit Verdot (Bordeaux) contributes a rich berry character and the Sangiovese, in true Italian style, adds fruity flavours with flair on the palate.
