Survivor - Pinotage Reserve 2022

Grape Varieties:

100% Pinotage

Method and Maturation:

Harvesting occurred at optimal ripeness of 25.7° Balling. Picking was done by hand in the early morning to ensure that the grapes arrived cool at the cellar. Cold
soaking was done for 48 hours before inoculation. Extraction was done by means
of punch-downs every 6 hours. Fermentation lasted for 5 days and temperatures
peaked at 26°C. Skins were pressed at 4° Balling and the gently pressed wine was blended with the free-run and allowed to complete fermentation before it was racked into barrels. The wine underwent MLF in 300 litre French oak barrels of which 50% was new, 30% was 2nd fill and the rest 3rd fill and then matured for 20 months. Only the 15 best barrels were chosen after a rigorous selection process to be bottled for this wine

Wine Tasting Notes:

The colour is strikingly intense dark red. Complex aromas of fresh red berries,
cinnamon spice and ripe plums on the nose, trickles though onto a luscious, giving palate. Hints of vanilla and slight coconut spices is evidence of the use of exceptional quality oak barrels. Full bodied and structured to last, the palate enfolds these avours into a synced orchestra that keeps on changing with every sip. “From bushvines. Fragrant roses and sumac-spice before blackberry compote and cinnamon bark. The palate deepens to the core with sappy black plum, cherries, and blueberries. Spice unwinds to the tail, trailing with rich dark fruit and a succulent freshness balancing the sinewy tannins. Power and nesse in a silky package.” As described by the Fine Wine Awards judges.
