Clos Malverne Pinotage Reserve 2021 – Case of 6

VINIFICATION:

The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 7 days on their skins in open fermenting tanks. The average fermentation temperature is 25-30° 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. The wine is racked and goes into oak barrels (100% French) for 12 months. The wine is only lightly filtered to ensure high quality aspirations are maintained.

TASTING NOTES:

The wine has a deep red colour. It has dark fruit flavours on the nose with underlying notes of mint and cassis. with its complexity together with firm tannin structure, it pairs well with rich red meat dishes. Can be enjoyed now – will also benefit from 3 – 5 years bottle maturation.
