Pegleg Carignan

Enjoy with grilled poultry and a generous crumble of Fairview Feta.

Sourced from the oldest Carignan vineyard in the country planted in 1981, the grapes were harvested from the Basson family’s bush vine vineyards, on the Swartland side of the Perdeberg Mountain. The vines grow on Malmesbury shale soils, which provide elegance to the grapes and sheer complexity to the final wine.

The wine completed malolactic fermentation in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, with further maturation for 11 months. Only the best barrels were selected, lightly filtered and bottled.

The grapes were hand harvested at 23.0°Balling, destalked, hand sorted and lightly crushed with 20% added as whole bunches to the bottom of the tank. Next, the grapes were fermented in a French oak foudres with regular pump overs.
