Beyerskloof Chenin/Pinotage 2009

The wine has fresh tropical fruit and strawberry flavours from the Pinotage and a whiff of floral and earthy flavours from the Chenin Blanc. A crisp, clean entry with a fresh mouth feel and a good acidity to ensure a well rounded finish. An ideal drink for the summer and best served chilled.

about the harvest: The Pinotage grapes were picked at an early stage of ripeness to ensure an abundance of sweet red berries.

in the cellar : After crushing the grapes the free run juice was drained and separated from the skins to give the wines a white colour. The juice is fermented for 15 - 17 days at 14° C. After fermentation the Chenin Blanc was blended with the Pinotage.
