Product information "Flagstone Time Manner Place Pinotage Reserve 2013"
This wine was created and not produced, the grape material was rather compulsively selected and re-selected before being released for pressing. The Flagstone Time Manner Place Pinotage Reserve is the distilled vision from a very small corner of the universe. The South African winemaker Bruce Jack has brought a Pinotage to the market, from a single vineyard, very much reduced yield and at the selection was sorted out again by 50%. Only 1500 bottles were put on the market. The winemaker creates the Flagstone Time Manner Place Pinotage Reserve only in very special vintages, only when the grape material of the Pinotage is extremely exceptional. Of an unusually dense and dark violet colour, it flows into the glass and exudes incredibly intense and complex aromas of wild blueberries and mulberries and ripe cherries. The palate is generous, rich and opulent, with nuances of wild blackberries and pickled plums in a well-balanced combination with nuances of toasted oak, white truffle, dark chocolate and thyme. A masterpiece of wine par excellence!

Only absolutely perfect grape material was processed, without the slightest damage to the berries. After the last inspection, the grapes were put by hand into new oak barrels where they fermented. Every four hours the grapes were turned and pressed down so that tannins and colour could be extracted and transferred to the wine. The wine then matured in small 225-litre wooden barrels and was tasted several times a year to determine if the juice was good enough for this special, hand-caressed wine.
