Delheim Pinotage 2020

On the nose the wine shows brooding dark fruits of blackcurrants and blackberries with spice notes of nutmeg and cloves. The palate opens up to juicy red and black fruits with a smooth and well-structured medium body. The tannins are silky with a long, dry savoury finish with subtle oak notes.

Handpicked grapes were de-stemmed and crushed. The wine was fermented in Stainless steel tanks with pump-overs done 6times a day. The wine was fermented dry and then pressed. Malolactic fermentation was done partially in barrel and tanks. The wine was then matured in French oak barrels, using 300L and 500L barrels, for a period of 18 months before blending. A light filtration was done before bottling.

This wine will benet from careful cellaring for 2-5 years from vintage.
