Together with friends, wines are created in the Old and New World, in small editions and united under one label. The Rooi Olifant is a full-bodied, velvety red wine cuvée from Markus Schneider's second home, South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kaapzicht vineyards are located on the Bottelary Hills, offering a direct view of the entire Cape Bay. Here, grapes from five different small plots were harvested distinctly from each other. All five areas are guarded by oversized granite boulders, which are called The Olifant Rocks on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Markus Schneider Rooi Olifant is a Red Wine Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. It boasts a rich fruit aroma of sour cherries, black currants, and plum compote with cinnamon, complemented by an all-encompassing, flattering spiciness. On the palate, it is soft and juicy, pleasantly warm with good acidity. A red elephant that manages to dance through the china shop without breaking a single cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarkus Schneider – Wine Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines for this red wine by Markus Schneider grow in various small plots overlooking the bay of Cape Town. At the right time, ripe, healthy grapes are harvested by hand and carefully processed. After traditional mash fermentation in red wine fermenters, the mash is gently pressed under low pressure and then aged without external intervention in multi-year wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe store the wines professionally, in dark conditions and at a constant temperature in modern rooms, tempered with geothermal energy and a photovoltaic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRooi Olifant – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26% Cabernet Sauvignon \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e68% Merlot \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14% vol.
