Product information "Eikendal Pinotage 2018"
Eikendal Pinotage is a seductive red wine of medium body and great finesse. The nose has intense aromas of ripe strawberries and fresh cherries. The palate is caressed by subtly integrated Burgundy oak, lush nuances of taste with velvety tannins that end in a smooth and long-lasting finish. A wine created with a lot of passion, creativity and a great attention to detail.

The grapes were harvested by hand, cooled down to 1°C in the cellar, hand-picked and subjected to a cold swelling phase at 10°C for 15 days. Then 25% of the whole bunch was added and a slow natural fermentation was started at 30°C. After pressing, the malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, whereupon 70% of the wine matured for 10 months in second, third and fourth-filled Burgundy barrels and 30% of the wine in cement eggs.
