Douglas Green Cinsaut / Pinotage 2006

Colour: Bright with a crimson heart and a purple rim.
Nose: Crushed summer berry and ripe plums aromas with delicate vanilla spice and earthy undertones.
Palate: Medium bodied explosion of red berry flavours offset by a hint of spice. Well balanced silky mouth-feel with soft ripe tannins.
Overall: An easy drinking medium-bodied red wine offering ample juicy red fruit and pleasing complexity.

Enjoy on its own or with pasta, pizza, duck and a variety of red meat dishes.

in the vineyard : Our viticulturalist selects grapes from defined vineyards across the Western Cape for terroir specificity and optimal varietal expression.

about the harvest: The Pinotage and Cinsaut grapes were harvested at 23° B.

in the cellar : Grapes are vinified separately in appointed cellars where our oenologist has strictest control over every process. The components were fermented to 4° B before oak chips were added and malolactic fermentation was completed. Final blending and bottling took place in our cellars in Wellington.
