Paying homage to our Kriekbult farm, our first site-specific Pinotage has been produced from 27-year-old Pinotage bush vines. The vineyards utilised for this wine produce a distinctive style, expressing the unique characteristics of well-aged Pinotage.
in the vineyard : It was a cool, wet growing season that replenished the water reserves. We started harvesting the first week of February and ended the last week of March 2021.
about the harvest: This harvest had some challenges with COVID-19 sale restrictions, lockdown, and some rain that made planning difficult. Overall, the
quality of the wines shows lots of promise.
in the cellar : 5 days in open fermenters with the cap punched through by hand every two hours. The fermentation temperature was between 25-28°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matured in 50% new and 50% second-fill barrels for 20 months.
