Winemaking:

This wine was made from bush vine Pinotage from the Swartland planted in the early 1990’s and is dryland farmed. 80% was destemmed and 20% left whole bunch through fermentation and maceration. Only gentle actions through fermentation as to not over extract tannins and rather create an elegant and fine example of Pinotage. Aged for 12 months in big French casks and old 500L neutral barrels. No additions and minimal intervention are the philosophy here.

Cherry, cranberry and straw. Medium bodied with sturdy tannins and refreshing acid. A really nice bottle if you like a brisk, fruity red with some earthiness to it.

A pure light wine, I am taken with the vintner's confidence in the grape, and their fermentation process. It is not easy to make young red wine so flavorful and still robust and supple without going too sweet. Mulberry and blueberry notes mix with almost minty floral nose and enhance the deeper notes that take time to emerge from this recent vintage. Not sure it will age well, so I'm happy to drink it you.

Beautiful example of what Pinotage done in old world style. Beautiful aromas of mulberries, cocoa nibs and smoke but with a lighter style body than usual (low alochol 13%) and great vein of acidity. Recommend
