Vineyard
Mediterranean
Hedged VSP vines - planted in dark, rich soils of Oak leaf and weathered granite - provide optimal conditions for this truly South African grape variety.
Vinification
Due to its thick and tannic skin, colour is extracted from the Pinotage grapes within the first couple of days of fermentation. Early pressed, immediate oaking and bottled 12 months later, this Pinotage is true to its varietal fruit character.
