mehrere Informationen

The Spioenkop Pinotage flows into the glass in a dark ruby red with violet colour complexes and offers an incredibly exciting and intense bouquet of graphite, violets and dark forest berries. As the wine breathes, fragrant aromas of fine raspberries and blackberries develop after a short time, with subtle hints of chilli pepper in the background. A Pinotage of thoroughly elegant style! Of medium body of wonderful density with a wonderfully clear acidity. Of silky texture, this noble drop ends in a soft and pleasantly lingering finish. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were cooled to 8°C overnight and 50% destemmed the next morning and subjected to a five-day cold swelling phase. The fermentation took place spontaneously, i.e. only the yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit started the fermentation (50% on the whole bunch). Once fermentation was complete, the skins were slowly pressed in a stainless steel press. Malolactic fermentation took place in selected barrels. The wine matured for 10 months in French barriques on the fine yeast (40% new wood) and was neither filtered nor refined before bottling.
