Vinification The vines are rooted in deep red Hutton soil on north-facing slopes, capturing the cooling summer southerly breeze and the frontal winds that influence the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions in exposed sites, combined with bush vines, ensure slow fruit development, allowing the vine to achieve maximum varietal expression. The result is dense clusters with small berries, ideal for producing wines with structure, elegance, and finesse. This Pinotage was fermented on the skins in open fermenters for 5-7 days at temperatures between 26°C and 28°C. Following alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then matured for 10 months in 30% new 225-liter French oak barrels.
