about the harvest: Good rainfalls and ideal cold weather conditions during winter ensured good nutrient storage and led to sufficient underground water levels for the growing season. The early growing season with cool/moderate day time temperatures and cool evenings produced even budding. A mild December/January provided ideal ripening conditions for the first Pinotage grapes, however heavy rains in early February resulted in difficult harvesting conditions. Mild temperatures had a positive effect on the cultivars picked later in March which resulted in grapes harvested at optimal ripeness, producing good colour and aroma extraction.

in the cellar : Pinotage grapes were picked at about 21 balling, lightly crushed and left on the skins for about 6 hours to extract sufficient amounts of colour and structure. The juice was separated from the skins and primary fermentation took place at 12ºC for three weeks. After primary fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees for three months and stirred up twice monthly to give the wine a more balanced and elegant mouthfeel.
