Bosstok Pinotage

Beef, Game (deer, venison), Poultry

The 2022 vintage had excellent growing conditions. Overall, the conditions were favourable for colour and aroma preservation in red wines. The grapes are aromatic and balanced, with deep colour, pronounced fruit expression and soft tannins. This was a very high quality vintage with strong wines across the board. The vineyards are located in the Agter-Paarl region of the Western Cape. The hardy bush-vines are planted in Malmesbury Shale soil, and produce bright fruit flavours, minerality, and soft tannins.

25% of the wine was barrel-matured in American oak (10% new) for 12 months. Fined and filtered before bottling.

Grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks over several days with frequent pump-overs. At around 8 degrees balling, the skins were removed and the wine was pressed and racked back to tank for completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
