Kaapzicht Rooiland Pinotage 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinotage from Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Kaapzicht's Pinotage blocks are actually just down the road from where Pinotage was first planted in South Africa

Taste Profile: Intense, plush & opulent. This modern, yet classic style of Pinotage is our homage to South Africa’s signature grape variety. Generous notes of blackberry, mulberry and blackcurrant are present on the nose, while rich oak and vanilla spice creates a lasting and textural finish.

Winemaking Process: Grapes are hand-picked from bush vines then crushed and destemmed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Biodynamic yeast is used to inoculate the fermentation to enhance and preserve terroir characters. After fermentation the wine is gently pressed and transferred to tanks for malo-lactic conversion. After completion the wine is racked to specially selected 300l barrels for ageing between 16 and 18 months. After blending the wine is aged in concrete tanks until bottling.
