Origin

Wine of Origin South Africa, Coastal Region.

In the vineyard

The grapes used to make this Pinotage come from a block of 45-year-old vines, grown as saplings. The vines grow in granitic soils with a quantitatively limited yield. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness.

In the cellar

The best bunches are carefully selected: a first selection in the vineyard is followed by a second selection of the best grapes before a final selection in the cellar. Fermented in open concrete barrels with daily punching down. After malolactic fermentation in barrique, 50% of the wine is matured in French oak barrels, 50% new and 50% second use for 18 months.
