Bovlei Pinotage 2008

The wine was made in rotor tanks and turned regularly. This led to excellent colour extraction and rich stylistic cultivar flavour. The wine has upfront sweet berry/banana spicy vanilla flavours with a good colour and a balanced complex aftertaste.

Serve with roast or turkey or any traditional red meat.

ageing : Ready to drink, but with the intense cultivar flavour on nose and plate, it can be kept for another four years.

in the vineyard : The grapes are from the bush vine blocks with a yield of 8 ton per hectare. The soil is in the higher slopes of Bovlei at the foot of the Hawekwa Mountains.

about the harvest: With a slow long ripening period, the grapes were picked late March in the ripening period. This led to good cultivar flavours and a berry with a thicker skin.
