Production Details Hand-harvested grapes from selected Pinotage vineyards situated in the unique Scherpenheuwel ward of the Worcester wine region are destemmed, crushed, cold soaked and then fermented on the skins for at least a week. At least 30% of this blend comes from wild yeast-fermented Pinotage, aged in barrels and sourced from predominantly older vines. The rest of the Pinotage in this blend is fermented in stainless steel tanks, bringing a freshness and vibrancy to the wine.
