The grapes are from a unique selection of vineyards planted on the banks of the Olifants-River in Alluvial and Karoo soil. These soils ensure full phenolic ripeness at lower sugar levels and matched with the diurnal temperature variation creates the ideal micro-climate for excellent colour development. Resulting in fruit-driven wines with soft tannin structures while retaining freshness and elegance.
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.
