{"product_id":"stark-conde-three-pines-syrah-afrique-du-sud","title":"Stark-Conde - Three Pines Syrah - 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the Jonkershoek Valley, near Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, the Stark-Conde estate benefits from a natural amphitheater of mountains that protects the vines from prevailing winds. The Syrah plots destined for the Three Pines cuvée are planted at altitude on well-drained slopes with soils of decomposed granite and clay, offering a balance between concentration and freshness. The Mediterranean climate, tempered by the proximity of the ocean, promotes a slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in elegant and structured wines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, then carefully sorted before being destemmed and gravity-fed into the vats. Fermentation takes place in open vats, with regular pump-overs and punch-downs to gently extract color and tannins. After racking, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, mostly used for topping up, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for an extended period before bottling without excessive filtration to preserve the purity of the fruit and the character of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack plum\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eblueberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral touches of violet\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003espicy nuances of black pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eclove\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003elicorice\u003c\/strong\u003e . \u003cstrong\u003eWoody accents of toasted oak\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e mingle with a subtle \u003cstrong\u003esmoky\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension.
