Eaglevlei Pinotage 1999

A more elegant style of Pinotage, less jammy plum character and clean soft fruit tannins. Good firm acidity and balance. Lively fruit and delicious for early drinking.
Enjoy with fine cheeses like Camembert, goats cheese and strong cheddar types.

in the vineyard : In 1996 Steve Weir tracked down a 100 hectare piece of land going for sale in the rich soil belt in the Muldersvlei area of Stellenbosch. 50 hectares were purchased and the first plantings were made. This was followed shortly by the building of a small practical cellar which now houses the full production and maturation process that the Eaglevlei wines undertake. The early vintages were made under the guidance of Etienne Le Riche but are now made by André himself with some consultancy and general advice being given by Etienne as is required.
