2024 Gilbert & Gaillard - Double Gold

ageing : Can keep up to 8 years.

The recorded wind during the flowering and berry-set stages was the major foundation for smaller berries, offering an intensive extraction from the grape skins that provided deeper and more structured wines.

in the vineyard : Due to Pinotage tending to ferment fast the extraction should bemonitored to ensure optimal extraction from the skins. The grapes were picked early morning and put into the cooler for 5 hours.

in the cellar : The grapes were then processed and taken to a tank where cold maceration took place for 3 days before being inoculated. It finally matured in oak for 24 months.
