Kaapzicht - The Steytler Range - Pinotage, 2020

Grape Varieties:

100% Pinotage

Wine Description:

Pinotage began in Bottelary. This wine is an homage to our passion for making refined Pinotage that is typical and worthy of its birthplace. A perfumed wine that is forceful yet possesses ample subtlety and detail.

Method and Maturation:

From a block of bush vines planted in 1995 on Koffieklip soils. These weathered soils are low potential and unirrigated. Yields are between 5 -7 tons per hectare.

From one block of old bush vines on the estate, these grapes are hand harvested and whole-berry fermented with a cultured biodynamic yeast.

Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks until dry and aged for 20 months in 80% new oak.
