On the palate

This wine is made from Pinot Noir, clone 115, planted two decades ago on the highest point of the Nortern side of the Bottelary Hills. In my search for special and undiscovered sites and wines, I found the grapes and have followed their path into this fantastic example of what potential there truly exists for Pinot Noir in Stellenbosch when the right clone is fitted into the perfect site and terroir. A wine for maturation and enjoyment when the time is truly ripe for the reward. This wine signifies something truly special to me as a winemaker and is part of my journey in life and wine in South Africa, hence the name, Camino Africana, “The African Way”.

The Pinot Noir grapes were carefully sorted and crushed whole berry into a 5 ton fermenter. After 3 days’ cold soak and allowing spontaneous fermentation to take place, pumpovers occurred 2 times per day for 5 days. 10 days’ post ferment maceration was followed by a soft Basket press and further 12 months’ maturation in 6 New 300 litre French Oak Hogshead barrels. Bottled with minimal filtration and no fining to maintain the wines’ fine structure.
