The Lemberg Pinotage 2022 offers an exceptional ruby red appearance enriched with a bouquet that showcases succulent red fruit aromas, including plums, blackberries, and cherries, complemented by a subtle hint of fine spices and tomato leaf. Each fruity note caresses the palate, intertwining seamlessly with the well-integrated tannins that enhance the wine's elegant framework.
Treatment in the cellar
The grapes were harvested in the early morning to take advantage of the cool night temperatures. After being destemmed and crushed, a two-day cold maceration preceded the yeast addition. During fermentation, a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs was employed to extract color and tannins. Pressing took place after alcoholic fermentation, followed by filling the wine directly into barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine then matured for 15 months in a mix of 300-liter and 500-liter French oak barrels.
