Skraalhans Pinotage

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

From vines planted in 2015. These trellised vines are unirrigated and yield between 10 – 12 tons per hectare.

After completion the wine is age for 11 months in tank with gentle micro-oxygenation to give the wine a smooth finish.

Grapes were machine harvested at 22.0 balling to preserve freshness and maintain lower alcohol. The must was inoculated with biodynamic yeast and only spent 3 days on the skins with two light pump-overs per day. After gently pressing, the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks for malo-lactic conversion.
