<p>Soil type: Sandy clay from Sonop, med-low yield, 165m West – South-West elevation</p><p>Viticulture: 16 year old vineyards, yield ± 12t/ha</p><p>Vinification: Due to the thick and tannic skin, colour is extracted from the Pinotage grapes within the first few days of fermentation. Early press and immediate oak contact yield a fruity, young Pinotage that shows no aggressive tannins.</p><p>Aging potential: 2 - 5 years</p><p>Tasting notes: A succulent palate of sweet tannins with ripe mulberry and strawberry fruit. A lingering hint of herbs results in a complex, long finish.</p><p>Food pairing: This sweet, fruity style makes it lovely on its own as well as an ideal accompaniment to a variety of lamb dishes.</p>
