tasting notes
Appearance: Clear ruby colour.
Bouquet and Palate: Huge concentration of dark fruits. Savoury nose carries through to the palate. Serious wine that shows lots of varietal character. Not for the faint hearted.
 
blend information
100% Pinotage
 
about the harvest
All grapes were hand picked.
 
in the cellar
All grapes were sorted before a pure yeast culture, BM 45, was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3 - 5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre of French oak.
