Kaapzicht - Pinotage Skraalhans, 2022

Grape Varieties:

100% Pinotage

Wine Description:

Skraalhans is a gangly weed found in our vineyards, often growing taller than the Bush vines themselves. Our hands-off approach has allowed the vineyards to shine through, giving the wine a profound sense of place. This new, vibrant version of Pinotage is bright, fresh and elegant

Method and Maturation: 

Grapes were machine harvested at 22.0 balling to preserve freshness and maintain lower alcohol. The must was inoculated with biodynamic yeast and only spent 3 days on the skins with two light pump-overs per day. After gently pressing, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks for malo-lactic conversion. After completion the wine is racked to 500L old oak barrels to age for 10 months.
