A characterful Pinotage from Stellenbosch with impressive depth and structure. The glass shows an intense ruby-red colour. The nose offers caramelised cherries, black plum and fine notes of black pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate it is powerful yet supple, with dense fruit, elegant spice and finely integrated oak. A complex, cool-climate style with pronounced ageing potential. Winemaker: Frans Smit
 
Vinification:
Harvesting takes place in stages according to physiological ripeness to ensure optimum tannin structure. The grapes are hand-picked, pre-cooled, destemmed and carefully selected. Around 15% of the fermentation takes place spontaneously with natural yeasts in stainless steel, while the remainder is fermented with selected yeast strains. After the free-run wine is drawn off, the wine matures for 18 months in a combination of French oak, around 60%, as well as American and Hungarian oak barrels. Careful barrel selection results in a balanced Pinotage with depth, structure and excellent ageing potential.
