Product information "Altydgedacht Pinotage 2019"
In a deep dark red, Altydgedacht Pinotage flows into the glass and exudes the scent of black plums and a hint of dark cherries combined with a hint of roasted oak. It pleasantly caresses the palate with its silky structure. Typical for South Africa's cooler Durbanville terroir, this wine has incredibly elegant and soft tannins, which ensure a rounded and skilful finish.

The grapes for the Altdgedacht Pinotage were hand picked, destemmed and crushed in closed stainless steel fermentation tanks. The mash was left to rest cold for 3 days before fermentation and yeast was added. The total fermentation time was 6 days at a maximum temperature of 27°C. 20% of the wine was transferred to new barrels for malolactic fermentation, while the remaining portion completed the malolactic fermentation in the tank. For barrel maturation, 50% French and 50% American oak barrels were used, 40% of which were new wood. The wine matured in barrels for a total of 12 months.
