Cappupino Ccinotage

This unique and expressive wine is ideally paired with barbequed meats such as lamb chops, boerewors sausage and beef kebabs.

The grapes selected for our Cappupino Ccinotage come from deep shale soil vineyards that ripen mid-season, resulting in a longer hang-time and producing balanced, ripe fruit. The berries show dark-pip ripeness, combined with sweet plum and succulent, ripe red berry fruit. Grapes were predominantly selected from the Paardeberg area which yields Pinotage grapes without any undesirable jammy notes.

The grapes are sourced from selected growers and vinified separately to retain unique flavour profiles as blending components in the final blend. After crushing, the grapes underwent a two-day cold-soaking period and were inoculated with a specially selected yeast strain. The juice underwent a slow, cool fermentation and was removed from the skins while still fermenting, before wood treatment in charred French oak. Fermentation was completed on the oak, resulting in a gentle wood-tannin interaction. This process results in rich coffee and chocolate flavours on the palate. We strive to create a style that expresses cultivar-typical fruit characteristics in balance with oak flavours.
