mehrere Informationen

The idiom Cape Blend is a velvety and opulent wine from South Africa's own grape variety, Pinotage, blended with noble varieties. Lush and broad with complex aromas and flavours ranging from Black Forest Cherry Tart to ripe raspberries and ripe summer cherries. Velvety tannins and a lively finish characterize this great wine.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this red wine cuvée underwent a five-day cold swelling phase, after which they fermented in stainless steel tanks at optimal temperatures between 22-28°. Malolactic fermentation followed in steel tanks with wooden staves. The different wines of this cuvée matured separately for 10 months in French and American oak barrels, 45% of which were new wood. After the wines were blended, the finished cuvée matured for another 2-4 months in barrels.
