Joubert Tradauw R62 Blend

Description

Tasting Notes
2 years in French oak barrels provide for softness and complexity. The wine is dark purple in colour and in the mouth is a medium bodied profile dominated by a beautiful freshness cutting through flavours of cranberry, raspberry, thyme and other herbaceous notes. The wine is unfiltered and speaks for the natural way fruit is picked and vinified.

ABV: 14.%
Grape(s): Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz

About the Producer
Meyer Joubert, an award-winning winemaker, studied viticulture near Stellenbosch and thereafter winemaker for California’s famous producer, Cakebread before returning to South Africa to make his own wine away from Stellenbosch, on the lush green garden route.

An established winemaker with a vision and a thorough knowledge of his natural passion, he believes in little intervention during the winemaking process. His wine cellar is simple yet functional and appropriate regarding space, temperature and humidity.

The wines were previously in Britain many years ago and were waiting to be brought back to achieve the popularity they saw previously. Meyer’s wines vary from lush Chardonnay, to an affordable natural wine (“R62 alternative”) to a non-intervention Syrah and a powerful and rich Cabernet Franc. His wines won recent accolades scoring as highly as 94 points.
