New label for one of the best value wines we sell. Now 100% from Estate fruit – therefore 100% organic.
Syrah is particularly well-suited to the farm and this is one of several bottlings in which it plays a significant role. Mourvédre and Touriga Nacional play a supporting role in this vintage. This wine has become integral to family gatherings at Joostenberg over the years, hence the name Family Blend. The grapes were hand-picked, partially de-stemmed and then fermented in small open topped tanks. After 9 months maturation in a combination of seasoned oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, the various batches were blended and the wine was aged for a further 6 months before being bottled.
