Sakkie Mouton Dawn of the Salty Tongues Syrah 2022

12.9% abv

Vol- 75cl

Nose: graphite, red cherries, red meat, Kelp. On the mouth there is an intense sensation of saltiness with a dark Cherry and saline Finish.

The Salty Tongues Syrah 2022 is a 100% Syrah red wine from vines located 25 kilometres from the cold Atlantic ocean, in Vredendal on the West Coast of South Africa. The Label is a reference to the Rise of the West Coast as a new wine region and showcases divers picking grapes under the ocean, which contributes to the ‘’salty’’ taste on the palette. Grapes were picked early in the morning to preserve freshness. Cooled down before being destemmed. 30% whole bunches into open fermenters the next morning.

Fermentation started after three days of cold soaking and lasted for about two weeks with pumpovers three times a day, fermentation temperature was kept at 27°C. After fermentation the wine was racked to one 500 litre and one 300litre barrel for aging. Aging in barrel was done for 9 months.

Bottled with the addition of a little sulphur, unfined and unfiltered. Vineyards – Decomposed Sandstone soils 25 kilometres from the Atlantic ocean, planted in 1999.

Hailing from Vredendal originally, Sakkie Mouton was born and bred up the west coast and went to school locally there before moving to Elsenburg college to study winemaking. Sakkie Mouton is the epitome of the classic West Coast maverick or perhaps the West Coast misfit to use his own words. But whatever descriptives you use to describe his unique brand of winemaking and marketing, there is no denying this young man’s incredible talent, passion and vision. Almost uniquely, despite his enviable and obvious rock star talents, he has never been too confident or arrogant to dismiss advice or unwilling to alter course in the name of producing the very best possible end product.
