Momento Tinta Barocca

This is a unique and elegant expression of Tinta Barocca. Lifted aromas of red cherry, cassis, and rose mingle with hints of porcini and soy. The palate has a tightly wound core with grippy tannins, opulent fruit and a long, savoury finish. The grapes for this 100% Tinta Barocca are sourced from three vineyards in the Swartland, Bot River and Stellenbosch. The Swartland's dry-farmed bush vines are at least 40 years old, resulting in low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. The region's low rainfall, combined with decomposed granite soils, contributes richness and depth. In Bot River and Stellenbosch, the cooling Atlantic influence, coupled with shale and clay soils, ensures elegant texture and purity of fruit.
