Dombeya Merlot 2020 Organic (6)

Organic grapes are not sprayed with harmful chemical pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides. As a result, organic wine is a more natural and cleaner product to consume.

On the palate the wine opens up to a bowl of red and blackberries followed by some savory notes. The acid is moderate allowing the tannins to show its silky elegance with a long savory finish. This wine drinks well now but can be aged for a further 8-10 years.

Vinification

The grapes were hand-picked, cooled down over night in a coolroom before they were destemmed and vinified. Fermentation took place at 25-28*C with 3-4 pump-overs and punch downs. Total maceration including fermentation was 11-15 days after which the wine is kept on the skins for an additional 2 weeks before pressed. Malo-lactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine was racked twice during barrel maturation time of 16 months. This wine has 30% new oak and the balance is 2nd and 3rd fill barrels.

Why are we selling only organic wines?

1. Organic and Biodynamic farming is in Harmony with nature & the universe
2. Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides and Insecticides feed pathogens and have heavy metals in it.
3. Toxic heavy metals. People can also inherit metals like lead, mercury, aluminium, nickel, barium, arsenic and copper. And it’s all too easy to be exposed to these metals in daily life. Take the heavy metal copper for instance. When the local park is being sprayed with pesticides (many of which contain copper and mercury) and you breathe that in, or when you drink water that ran through a copper pipe, you’re absorbing the metal. This industrial copper is different to the trace mineral copper which can be found in healthy foods.

What Are The Unforgiving Four?

1. The four key factors causing an endless amount of suffering today. The Unforgiving Four are the Viral Explosion, DDT, Radiation, and Toxic Heavy Metals.

Each of these four health threats can wreak havoc all on their own, but when a combination of them is present in us, they can really get a strong foothold and cause an incredible amount of suffering over time. Oftentimes, someone won't even think they have anything wrong with their health until later in life when they experience a rush of symptoms for the first time and chalk it up to menopause, are diagnosed with a disease, or the doctor doesn't know why you have depression, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, or another mystery symptom and says it's all in their head. Really, it's The Unforgiving Four at work. Healer Omar Botha
