Anwilka Petit Frere 2014 Wine (75cl)

Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.

Anwilka Petit Frere gives aromas of roasted spiced and dark fruit. The palate is fresh and medium to full bodied with a supple tannin structure. Flavours of plums and spice conclude with a long elegant finish. It is approachable now but will mature gracefully for up to 5 years from vintage. After its maiden vintage in 2005, Anwilka has been carefully guided by it’s coowners, Hubert de Boüard (of Chateau Angélus) and Bruno Prats (formerly of Cos D’Estournel), to produce unique wines of a style highly celebrated both locally and internationally. “Petit Frère”, the 2nd wine from this property, is a tribute to Anwilka’s French Bordeaux heritage. The grapes were hand-picked from vineyards located 7 kilometres from the ocean, in Stellenbosch’s prime Helderberg region. The small crates of berries were sorted before and then again after de stemming. Crushing and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with gentle pump-overs and ten days of post-fermentation maceration, enabling the soft extraction of colour and tannins. With production of approximately 40 000 bottles, Anwilka is aged in 25% new French oak for 12 months.
