There are 2 vineyards planted on deep Hutton soil as well as Karoo soil, and it is trellised on the Perold system. A drip irrigation system is installed and the vineyards are planted in a East-West row direction. The ages of the vines are 12-17 years, which go into this wine.
Our Pinotage grapes were harvested from different blocks and sites. Picked at full phenolic ripeness between 24 – 25 Balling. Destalked, crushed and fermented with 3 pump overs per day to ensure soft extraction of tannins but full colour extraction. Pressed when fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks.
