ORIGIN
Stellenbosch.
VINIFICATIONThe picking of these grapes were done when the grapes were at a ripe 25° balling. Grapes were harvest in the earlier part of the morning to preserve freshness and fruit by the time we reach the cellar.
The Pinotage berries were gently crushed and destemmed into and open fermented where it was cold macerated for 7days before fermentation started... The wine was then pressed and laid down to rest in French Oak barrels for ten months. No racking occurred to limit oxidation. Finally the wine was racked into a tank. No fining occurred and a very coarse filtration was done, so as not to damage the fruit.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTEA generous enticing wine with a slight hint of cocoa and raspberry, soft tannins and a lingering finish.
Food suggestion will range from Springbok to Carpaccio and salads.
