Rooiland Pinotage

Delicious served with barbecued ostrich steaks or springbok fillet from the braai.

20 Year old bush vines planted in weathered granite soil. Yield of 4.2 tons per hectare – all dry land, unirrigated.

After a light pressing the Pinotage underwent malolactic fermentation before going into 28% new French oak barrels for 18 months.

Grapes were picked at full ripeness (25oB), fermented in stainless steel tanks and pumped over 2 times a day.
