Appellation: Western Cape.

Grape Varieties: Pinotage

 

From established, trellised vineyards on Paarl’s deep sandy loams.

 

 

WINE-MAKING

All fruit was hand-harvested and gently crushed with a proportion of whole-bunches to

bring a leafy freshness to the juice. The juice is naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks

and then allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation in 300 & 600 litre barrels. A tiny

proportion of Franschhoek Syrah adds a light veil of white spice to the final blend.

 

TASTING NOTES/产品特征

A generous nose of ripe plum and cherry rises from the bright ruby-hued wine. A mouthful

of generously plum-laden, deep flavours precedes a finish that is lifted and layered, with a

slight lick of toasty supporting oak.

 

SERVING

Perfect with seared tuna, venison, roast vegetables or a classic South African bobotie.
