Our Pinotage grapes are from trellised vineyards planted in 2006 at 300 metres above sea level on sandstone with clay-shale subsoil. 100% whole-berry fermentation, soft extraction and colder fermentations allow for a fresh and elegant style. Only seasoned French oak is used for 10 months of maturation. The wine exudes dark cherries and wild strawberry with hints of spice and petrichor supported by supple tannins.
Think - “Pinot-like” elegance and refined structure
Tasting Notes: Lovely purity of dark cherries and wild strawberry with hints of spice and earth supported by supple tannins. This wine is made in a pure, fruit-driven style which shows the fresher, more elegant side of this grape. Juicy and, elegant with cranberry and red cherry, supported by subtle earthiness and a mineral-driven, savory structure. Medium-bodied, high acidity, and fine, soft tannins, avoiding the heavy, smoky notes often associated with the grape. Long, elegant, and vibrant.
