Description
WINEMAKING:
The grapes were picked over a number of days to ensure perfect maturity of each block. Bunches were destalked and lightly crushed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and open top wooden foudres. After malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 15 months in 15% new French and American oak barrels, before blending and bottling.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS:
Pinotage is one of the more challenging varieties to work with. The naturally firm tannins need to be carefully managed and the fruit profile respected. Time in bottle will certainly help to express the fantastic Pinotage characteristics and ultimately a very rewarding wine. – Anthony de Jager
