Platter’s ****
Intricate vinification in 2021, 20% wholebunch, 33% aged in amphora, balance in old oak, allows vivid red fruit, savouriness & sprinkling of white pepper centre stage. Refined, not showy as name suggests, with sappy dry tannins, balance & potential to develop. 

Perswijn ****(*) zeer goed/uitstekend (oogst 2017)
Zwarte bessen, witte peper, kruiden, leer. Vol, compact, goede tannine en zuren

Rianie
An elegantly styled Syrah with vibrant and harmoniously layering of blackberry, white pepper and exotic spice flavours. The palate is softly textured and beautifully balanced.

Vinification
The grapes were hand-picked during the morning. No berry sorting took place and no crusher was used in order to get whole berries in the fermentation vessel. We also added 20% whole bunches to the tank. Pump-overs started once the cap lifted every 4 hours four times a day with a gentle punch down thereafter. Total maceration was for 16 days. Only 650L/Ton were pressed out after which the wines did the malo-lactic fermentation in French oak barrels
