Swartland Bush Vine Pinotage 2021

Subtle notes of vanilla, red berry and prune on the nose. Red berry fruit flavours integrate with the gentle spiciness and velvety tannins. A wine with crisp acidity and a smoky and toasty finish. Enjoy with spare ribs, pepper steak or rich game such as ostrich carpaccio and medallions of kudu fillet.

Fermentation took place in an open fermentation tank at 25°C with manual punch downs daily. The wine was pressed gently after 10 days of skin contact. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and the wine was then aged in 25% new and 75% older French oak barrels. Total maturation time in barrel was 12 months.
