Her Pinotage

A wine to enjoy on its own, but also pair beautifully with a meat platter or curry dishes.

Throughout the 2020 season the weather conditions were favourable, the bunch numbers showing promise early in the season. However, windy conditions during the berry growth stages resulted in smaller berries and consequently a lighter crop.

Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed before fermentation onset. Pump-overs and punch down are utilized for colour extraction. Before the wine is finished with alcoholic fermentation, it is pressed to ensure that the tannin expression is fine and subtle. Wine has no oak interference during ageing, to allow the wine's fruit composition to be more expressed. Subtle tannin structure is from the fermentation process which results in a complex wine with integrated tannins.
