Bovlei Vineyard Selection Pinotage 2010 (Discontinued)

Excellent colour extraction, rich varietal flavours of banana and spicy vanilla and a well integrated aftertaste, characterise this 100% Pinotage. The wine can be enjoyed now yet will benefit for up to four years of ageing.

A perfect companion to red meat, especially game, and other richly flavored dishes and cheeses. Serve at room temperature.

about the harvest: Grapes for this wine were picked at 24° C - 26° C. This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 23° C - 26° C.
in the cellar : After destalking and the addition of selected yeasts, the juice, together with the skins were allowed to ferment in closed combi stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 25º and 28° C. During the process the juice was regularly run over the skins to optimise flavour and colour extraction. At 5° Balling, juice was drained from the skins and any juice remaining in the skins recovered with the use of a gentle tank press. After allowing for malolactic fermentation the wine was racked from the lees and transferred to 225l new French oak barrels for maturation.
