Description
A big structured Pinotage with intense dark fruit flavours. A deep middle leads to a smooth finish with pleasant chocolate/cedar aromas from the French oak. A great balance between fruit and oak will allow superb ageing in the bottle for 10 years and more.

Vinification
The optimum ripeness for picking was at 26°B. Once destemmed berries went through a sorting system to minimize greenness. Fermentation took place in open casks, with punch downs done every 2 hours for 4-5days. Grapes were pressed before fermentation finished and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tank.
