Product information "Eikendal Pinotage 2017"
Eikendal Pinotage is a seductive and incredibly elegant wine with great finesse. On the nose, it has intense aromas of berry fruit, plums, cherries and fine chocolate. On the palate, the wood and the nuances of the aromas already sniffed are subtly integrated, ending in a smooth and persistent finish. A wine created with a lot of passion, creativity and a great attention to detail.

The grapes were picked by hand, cooled down to 1°C in the cellar before being hand-picked and then subjected to a cold swelling phase at 10°C for 15 days. Then 35% whole bunches of grapes were added and a slow natural fermentation at 30°C was started. After pressing, the malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel, whereupon the wine was aged for 12 months in 500 litres of second, third and fourth barrels of Burgundy.
