A red apple skin note to the palate gives the wine complexity and crunch. The finish is refreshing and balanced with bright acidity and a rounded mouthfeel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in the Bot River ward, the prevailing southerly winds from the nearby Atlantic Ocean moderate temperatures and create a mesoclimate perfectly suited to low-yielding vineyards. The vines are all between 16 and 19 years old and are planted on gentle north and south facing slopes at around 200 metres above sea level, on sandstone and shale soils.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Syrah grapes for this wine were handpicked and cooled overnight. They were then whole bunch pressed with a short maceration to achieve a light colour. The must was fermented with indigenous yeasts and placed in stainless steel tanks to mature on lees for a few months. The wine was then gently filtered before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGabriëlskloof is a beautiful wine estate located near Bot River in the Overberg region east of Cape Town. It was purchased in 2001 by Bernhard Heyns, who had been on the lookout for the ideal place to plant vines. The talented Peter-Allan Finlayson of Crystallum, Bernhard’s son in law, took over as winemaker from the 2015 vintage. Peter-Allan is now Cellar Master and oversees general management of the property, while the young and no less talented Nina Muller was promoted to winemaker. The farm has 178 hectares, with 68 hectares planted with vines. The climate is cool with maritime influences coming from Walker Bay. The vineyards are farmed sustainably with the support of fulltime vineyard consultant Rosa Kruger. Their aim is to move to organic farming in the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/gabrielskloof.co.za\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64680390492537,"sku":"90906126","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/GabrielskloofRosebudBotRiver.jpg?v=1790091585","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/gabrielskloof-rosebud-bot-river-2026","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
