(Swartland, South Africa) 100% Mourvèdre, sourced from a special block growing in the Swartland region. Aged in old 225 and 300l barrels for 11 months, this has beautifully integrated tannins with notes of black plum, blackberry and mulberry. In Angelo's own words, the story behind the name of this cuveé - "My friend Tom forgot his old Casio wrist watch at his friend’s parent’s house, and the family dog managed to scoop it off the counter and chew it up, forever setting the alarm at 8:49PM. Every night the alarm would go off, and the parents would pull the watch out the kitchen drawer, switch it off, and send a picture to Tom.Tom then set his alarm for 8:49PM, and would do the same. Now, all of us have our alarms set. It’s a reminder to pause once a day, check in with our loved ones, and soak up the precious little moments in life." Modal’s own Angelo van Dyk is the winemaker behind the Yo El Rey project, drawing inspiration from the wine scene in the UK, his current home, and South Africa, where he was born and raised. These wines are crafted in South Africa, working with negoce fruit sourced from friends, trusted farmers and small, organic growers around South Africa's Cape Town. The wines are made in Stellenbosch in a low intervention way, prioritising a style of wine that's energetic, vibrant and ultimately extremely drinkable.
