Production Details The grapes were hand-harvested. Fermentation commenced after two days of cold maceration. Mixing was done by pump-overs three times daily. Because Pinotage has a naturally thick skin and a high phenolic content, the wine was separated from the skins immediately after fermentation and pumped directly to barrel for 16 months ageing – all French oak (10% new). Blended with a small portion of dry-farmed Grenache.
