Produced by False Bay Vineyards.
This Pinotage opens with vibrant aromas of ripe black cherries, mulberries, and fresh plum, lifted by hints of subtle spice. The palate is juicy and fruit-driven, with soft tannins, bright acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish of dark berries and savoury spice.
As with all the reds in the False Bay range, native or wild yeasts were allowed to complete the fermentation process. After de-stemming, the berries were fermented in stainless steel tanks. From the onset of fermentation, we racked all the juice from the skins, once a day. It was then pumped back over the skins after an hour. We then did daily pump-overs until the natural fermentation process was complete. Fermentation took place at temperatures of 26°C to 30°C (at the height of fermentation). The wine was then drained from the skins. The wine was aged in large French oak vats for a minimum 6 months, which tempered the Pinotage tannins, as it allows slow oxygen ingress.
