AWARDS

2018 Absa Top 10 Pinotage Winner

ageing : This wine will evolve and mature into something really special over the next 4 - 7 years.

A winemaker’s selection of the three best barrels, 70 % new French Oak, matured for 16 month prior to being bottled unfiltered and unfined. With alcohol of 14.5 % and a TA of 5.9 g/l this will stand the test of time.

in the vineyard : Piekenierskloof un-grafted bush vine Pinotage planted in 1976. A really good start to make a fantastic example of the cultivar.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand harvested

in the cellar : The grapes were hand sorted and then crushed. 4 days cold soak and then inoculated before regular punch downs. Pressed and straight to barrel. After maturing for 16 months, the three best barrels were selected for this maiden release.
