Product information "False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 2018"
The False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage is as elegant as a Pinotage can be! Perfectly balanced with fruity and spicy aromas of red berries as well as soft tannins, it makes a super palatable companion for many dishes.
The False Bay series is named after the bay overlooking the vineyards of the False Bay Winery. The beautiful False Bay, which reaches up to the cape. It was a great adventure when Waterkloof decided to try it with the Pinotage grape variety. An adventure that ended well in the best sense of the word. The grapes came partly from Paarl, from 30 year old vines. The winemaker was fascinated by the small, concentrated grapes. After a lot of work in the vineyard and in the cellar, an exciting Pinotage arose, with an ingenious price-performance ratio.

Destemmed, crushed and fermented spontaneously in open steel tanks with indigenous and wild yeasts at a temperature controlled 26° to 30°C. During the fermentation process, the juice is pumped off once a day at the bottom and then distributed again on top of the mash cake to extract a maximum of extracts. At the end of fermentation, the wine is drained off but the mash cake is not pressed. The wine is then aged for ten months in large oak barrels, which tames the tannins of the Pinotage a little and gives the wine additional complexity.
