Product Description:
The Amandelboord Pinotage presents itself in a beautiful, intense, deep violet color. The nose reveals aromas of maraschino cherries, black plums, and banana-flavored Wilson toffee, followed by a medium acidity and medium alcohol content. On the palate, young tannins are present, which soften with age and aeration. A slight roasted note is discernible in the mid-palate, followed by sweet, stewed plums.

Vinifikation
The Pinotage vines are planted on well-drained blue, broken shale soils at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level on the western slopes of the Tygerberg and within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. Using the VSP trellising system, a typical harvest yields 7 to 8 tons per hectare. The grapes were hand-picked and fermented in open-top fermenters with regular punch-downs. After pressing, the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. The Pinotage then matured for 12 months in 12% new French oak barriques and 12% new American oak barriques.
