Product information "Lanzerac Commemorative Pinotage 2019"
The Lanzerac Commemorative Pinotage contains a piece of history in every drop! Lanzerac made South Africa's first commercial Pinotage from a single block of vines in 1956, and today uses grapes from the same historic old-vine vineyard for Commemorative Pinotage. More than 60 years later, this reincarnation of South Africa's first Pinotage indulges with the same aromatic profile of red and black cherries, wild berries and ripe plums, paired with hints of tobacco, tea leaves and unmistakable earthy overtones. An immensely complex and harmonious Pinotage with silky smooth and delicate tannins, an expressive ripeness and yet remarkable freshness. A wine of inimitable class, style and tradition.

On arrival at Lanzerac's cellar, the grapes were destemmed and hand-picked with great care before being lightly crushed and transferred to open fermenters, where fermentation was completed with the pomace submerged four times a day.
