More Information

In the cellar

The berries were crushed and cold-soaked for 24 hours below 15°C, and then inoculated with suitable yeast to bring out the best of the varietal. The must was fermented in open stainless steel tanks with manual punch downs every 4 hours to extract the intense colour and flavours from the must. Fermentation took about 5 days at temperatures between 24-29°C. Total skin contact of 10 days. The wine was aged for 18 months in a combination of 300L French and American oak barrels, of which 39% were new.

In the vineyard

The 3 hectare of vines (planted in 2000) are dripirrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on the 5-wire Perold trellis system. Vines are planted in soils consisting of weathered granite on clay, and are on north facing slopes. The nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) also has a cooling effect on the vineyards during the ripening season.

Ageing

This wine will benefit with some cellering. It can be aged for a further ten to fifteen years if stored in the correct and ideal conditions.

Pinotage

Food Pairing

Enjoy this wine with slow roast venison shanks with caramelised figs.
