Description

Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinotage from Bottelary in South Africa. From a block of bush vines planted in 1995 on Koﬃeklip soils. These weathered soils are low potential and unirrigated. Yields are between 5 -7 tons per hectare

Taste Profile: This wine is dominated with cherry and red fruit aromas, backed up with inky and vanilla notes. Spice and richness create tension on the palate leaving an earthy and elegant ﬁnish.

Winemaking Process: From one block of old bush vines on the estate, these grapes are hand harvested and whole-berry fermented with a cultured biodynamic yeast. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks until dry and aged for 20 months in 80% new oak

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
