Lammershoek The Innocent Pinotage 2015

A delicious everyday drinking wine. A rich ruby red colour with delicious notes of cherries, plums and some spice on the nose. On the palate there are lovely dark fruits with an elegant but firm tannin structure with a lingering aftertaste.

in the vineyard : Farmed dry-land thus no irrigation. There are two bush vine Pinotage vineyards; the youngest is 15 and the oldest 42 years of age. Obvious fruit is dominant in both taste and nose. Huge crunchy acidity is well balanced by the perception of sweet fruit. The wine lasts forever in your glass and even though it is made to mimic certain Beaujolais style wines, this wine still speaks of Pinotage.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand in small 15kg lug boxes in the early morning.
in the cellar : The bunches were roughly sorted and under-ripe berries removed. A ombination of whole bunch and de-stemmed crushed berry fermentation was carried out in large open concrete fermentation tanks. The wine was pressed earlier on before the end of fermentation. Fermentation was completed in close concrete tanks and underwent a further 10 month aging process in these tanks.
