More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were fermented, using natural yeasts from the vineyard, in open stainless steel tanks at 28-30°C. Skin contact 14 days. The skins were pushed down 4 - 8 times during peak fermentation. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel where the wine had minimal handling. Use is made of traditional gravity flow and no mechanical pumps are used. The wines were racked 3 times over a 24-month period. There was no filtration and the sulphur levels were kept to a minimum.

In the vineyard

Situated 7km from the False Bay coast a breach in the coastal ridge channels the south and south west winds towards the vineyards. These being generally cool breezes; they help moderate summer temperatures.

Ageing

This wine can be cellared for a further 12 years, if stored in the correct conditions.

Cultivar

100% Pinotage

Food Pairing

Excellent with dark meat, poultry and lean red meats. Malbec pairs well with earthy flavours such as beef brisket.
