Production Details The grapes were hand-picked into small lug boxes in the cool early mornings of February 2019 after which they were taken to the winery for destemming, crushing and chilling. After two days of cold maceration, fermentation commenced. Mixing was done by means of pump-overs three times daily. Due to Pinotage having a naturally thick skin and a correspondingly high phenolic content, the wine was separated from the skins immediately after fermentation and pumped directly to barrel for 13 months ageing—all French oak, 15% new and the balance 2nd, 3rd and 4th-fill. Bottled in October 2020 with a light polishing filtration.
