VINIFICATION:
The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 7 days on the skins in open fermenting tanks. The average fermentation temperature is 24-30° C. After fermentation, the skins are pressed in traditional basket presses. The free run and pressed juices are combined and malolactic fermentation spontaneously takes place in the tank. Now the wine is racked and 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Pinotage and 10% Merlot is blended. The wine spent 12-13 months in French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES:
The flagship of our range! A unique, full -bodied red blend, with Pinotage, South Africa’s own cultivar. Pleasantly dry tannins, spicy with underlying fruit (ripe berries). Good maturation prospects – 5 to 7 years.
