Tasting notes:
The wine has an intense ruby red colour.Abundant strawberry and ripe cherry flavours on the nose. A slight hint of chocolate, liquorice and coffee gives added complexity. The palate is smooth and soft with beautiful fruit that lingers. Elegant tannin structure rounds of this accessible wine which wine which will age well over the next 2-3 years.
Vinification:
The grapes were sources from our own pristine vineyards and from selected site on the Citrusdal Mountain. After harvesting, cooling and sorting, the grapes were crushed to red wine fermenters and a cold soak done @ 7 C for 4 days before pressing at 8 B. This ensures a supple and smooth Pinotage. The finished wine underwent MLF in barrel and tank maturation for 12 months on staves before blending and bottling.
