BOSCHENDAL SOMMELIER SELECTION PINOTAGE 2017
South Africa, Coastal Region
Pinotage
Description
The grapes were handpicked and sorted then crushed and fermented in open top, stainless steel tanks. Manual punch downs were conducted (of the skins) to ensure a fine tannin and colour extraction. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and half stored in stainless steel tanks and the other half in older barrels for maturation. Rich, ripe and vibrant red and black currants, spice and plumbs. A classic example of South Africa’s very own grape varietal.
