Good Luck Rouge '24

Good Luck is a tiny organic regenerative farm in Walker Bay home to rabbits, bees, a handful of chickens, a herd of goats, some veggie patches, and two very special vineyard blocks. 

Fruit for this wine is sourced from the lower section of the Syrah block, where the soils with a high concentration of clay lend depth and structure. Grapes are fermented as 100% whole bunches in open-top fermenters, with the cap gently submerged by hand each day to ensure a healthy, even fermentation. After 7 days on skins, the wine is pressed, settled overnight in tank, and then transferred to older 225L and 300L barrels for 11-12 months of maturation. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only a small addition of sulphur.

Angelo's goal with this one is a light, careful extraction that preserves Syrah's fragrant and expressive perfume of violets and fynbos, while highlighting the cultivar's supple, finely textured palate of bright raspberry and cracked black pepper.
