WINE DESCRIPTION
Joostenberg Myburgh Bros. Little J Red is a tribute to heritage, tradition, and the land that defines this enchanting wine. Crafted by the Myburgh family on the picturesque Joostenberg Estate, this wine hails from carefully selected vineyards on Hercules Pillar and Klipdam farms in Paarl’s southwestern Muldersvlei region. Here, dry-farmed bush vines thrive in decomposed granite and clay shale soils, with the nearby ocean’s cool breeze providing a natural temperature balance. Handpicked Syrah and Cinsault grapes ferment gently in small tanks, with a minimalistic approach preserving the wine's essence. Maturation in seasoned oak and stainless steel ensures a polished yet vibrant expression, blending legacy with modern finesse. Experience the timeless joy of Myburgh craftsmanship.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Joostenberg Myburgh Bros.Little J Red opens with vibrant, juicy red berry and dark fruit flavors, beautifully balanced with subtle hints of earthy spice and a delicate touch of floral undertones. The medium-bodied palate is smooth, with soft tannins and a lively freshness, making it highly approachable and food-friendly. This versatile red pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops, barbecue-smoked meats, or a hearty mushroom risotto. For a lighter option, try it alongside a charcuterie board featuring cured meats, aged cheeses, and olives. It’s also a delightful companion to rustic Mediterranean dishes, like roasted vegetable ratatouille or Moroccan spiced chicken.
