Item no. 1189478
Tasting note
Expressive aromas of red and black berries, oranges, olives, lavender and herbs. On the palate, a good fruit concentration, crisp acidity and crunchy tannins. Juicy at the beginning, spicy at the end, with the various components harmonizing well with each other.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with braised or briefly roasted lamb. It also goes very well with classic paella with crustaceans, poultry and rabbits.
Vinification
The Howard John, named after Franco Louren's father (Franco is Chris Alheit's wingman), is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah. The grapes all come from Swartland and the wine was fermented with a percentage of 60% whole grapes. The aging took place in old French barrels for 10 months.
