OBIKWA SWEET RED

Background
Taking its name from one of the early peoples at the Cape, these are down to earth, adventurous wines expressing their
true varietal character and rich, ethnic charm. Palate pleasing with a sense of fun as depicted by the bright yellow ostrich with its remarkable long neck, these wines are a tribute to the intrepid OBiKWA people for whom the ostrich represents a life
force and trusted companion.
This wine is made in the Adam Tas cellars in Stellenbosch. Vineyards
The grapes were sourced from a selection of the Capes vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington and Robertson
areas. The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness to achieve the fruit-driven character of the wine.

Winemaking
The grapes were harvested at 23 to 25 Balling in February and March. The fruit was cold-fermented on the skins in
stainless steel tanks at 20 to 25C to retain fruit flavours. The skins were then removed, pressed and malolactic fermentation completed.
