Tasting note DMZ Maestro Blue

Bright red in color and intense in scent with jammy fruit, light oak tones and a mild spiciness. The taste is soft and elegant and develops a rich and warm aftertaste with supple tannins.

definition

The Maestro Blue is Carl van der Merwes new rhône style blend of approximately 45% grenache, 30% mourvèdre and 20% syrah, supplemented with petite syrah (durif) from Stellenboschkloof. This impressive yet refined red wine has aromas of ripe fruit and is medium-bodied in taste, with silky tannins and a long aromatic finish. Carl, top winemaker of DeMorgenzon, does not use added yeast and allows the grapes to spontaneously ferment separately in concrete vats. This is how he achieves maximum grape and terroir expression. This is followed by a maturation of eighteen months in a selection of small barrels of 300 and large of 3,000 liters. The smell and taste of the oak is therefore very dosed and subordinate to the ripening tones of the wine. There is a strong trend, also in warm wine regions, to bring more elegance to wine with a modest influence of oak. Wines that can also be served by sommeliers in the top gastronomy in combination with refined dishes. With this particularly beautiful Maestro, Carl van der Merwe confirms his quality as a great winemaker and his justified membership of the exclusive Cape Winemakers Guild.
