Terroir
Granite and clay at an altitude of 160 m, with sufficient winter rainfall.
Winemaking
The bunches are hand-picked, then destemmed. Short, infrequent pump-overs during fermentation gently extract tannins and colour. Alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. Once the wine is drained off, only the free-run juice is kept to obtain a supple tannic structure. The wine is racked at the end of malolactic fermentation.
Food pairing
Grilled lamb or beef.
Story
Exuding intense aromas of red fruit, dried fruit and liquorice, Pinotage is South Africa’s emblematic grape variety, just like a certain ship whose legend was born at the Cape in the 18th century. Its captain made a pact with the devil and was condemned to sail the oceans for ever with his crew. Our Pinotage is devilishly good and crosses the oceans in search of true pirates who will appreciate it at its true worth.
