The Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca is a full-bodied and complex red wine that impressively reflects the special characteristics of the old Tinta Barocca vines from Swartland. This grape variety, originally from Portugal's Douro Valley, was the first Portuguese variety to be planted in South Africa and has established itself here thanks to its potential for strong, colorful and elegantly structured wines. The wine comes from dry-farmed bush vines on the slopes of the Paardeberg, which grow on weathered granite soil with a proportion of coffee stone. The natural conditions ensure a very low yield and concentrated, colorful grapes with a pronounced aroma.
The grapes are harvested by hand in the cool morning hours to preserve the freshness and quality of the berries. After destemming, the must ferments in temperature-controlled, open fermentation tanks, where it is gently punched down four times a day. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in wooden barrels, followed by a 17-month maturation period in the barrel, which gives the wine its fine structure and complexity. This careful processing ensures velvety tannins and a harmonious combination of fruit and spice.
In the glass, the Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca reveals intense aromas of raspberries, mulberries and aromatic spices. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and rich, with a balanced, structured texture. The ripe, creamy tannins complement the fruit perfectly and ensure a long, elegant finish. This wine embodies the terroir of the Swartland and the special quality of old bush vines in an impressive way.
This red wine harmonizes perfectly with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, roast beef or game. It is also an excellent accompaniment to spicy stews and mature hard cheeses. Serve the Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca at a drinking temperature of around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius to allow its aromas to develop to their full potential.
