Pinotage

The vineyard is located 250m above sea level on an east-facing slope in the Bottelary Hills. Training method: Pinotage bush vine Soil type: Granite soil, offering enough growth but not too vigorous for the bush vine. Harvested by hand. Fermentation took place over 7 days in closed stainless-steel tanks, mixed by pumping over and Délestage, pressed in a horizontal basket press. The Mooiplaas Pinotage is a full-bodied wine with a deep purple colour. The nose is reminiscent of plums, which is typical of this unique South African variety, while the palate is rich and full with a long finish. Overall, the wine is soft, juicy, and approachable. This wine should evolve well over time, with ample structure and concentration to age well for 8 to 10 years.

Pair with roast chicken, Cape Malay spiced dishes, roast pork, roast lamb, pizza & pasta dishes. Pinotage also works particularly well with flame-grilled meats
