WineMaking Notes
Grapes were destemmed (but not crushed) and transferred to stainless steel tank, dropped in using gravity, so all the berries stayed whole to carry out carbonic maceration. Our priority is always on developing elegance & fruitiness and avoiding bitterness and harsh tannins for which Pinotage is notorious. We also wanted to retain the underlying spicy minerality from the local soils. Spontaneous, wild fermentation occurred inside the unbroken skins of the berries, with the effect of minimal skin contact. This coaxes out the gentler, more textural nature of Pinotage.
Tasting Notes
This wine displays a refreshing juicy palate and a clean finish. Cranberry compote with hints of ground coffee and a savouriness pops out of the glass. It has a lithe texture with integrated, supple tannins and some attractive spice on the finish. Incredibly moreish!
