Grapes for this wine are harvested from our Helderberg Golden Triangle and Bottelary properties - both properties excel in Pinotage challenges every year and we believe that a blend of the distinctly different terroirs can only lead to greater things.

In the cellar:

Grapes are picked between 24 and 25 Balling, crushed and allowed to cold macerate for 24 hours in open stainless steel tanks. It is inoculated with French yeast strains and allowed to ferment with regular punch downs every 2 hours for 4 days on skins. The wine is then drained from the skins and further fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Our Pinotage is aged in convection-roasted French oak barrels over a period of 12 months.

Tasting notes:

This wine offers raspberry and ripe peach and black cherry flavours with subtle oak nuances; a ripe juicy palate and a delicate, lingering finish.

Foodpairing:

A great complement to spicy food such as Thai green curries or traditional Cape Malay bobotie.
