Product information "Neil Ellis Bottelary Pinotage 2018"
The Neil Ellis Bottelary Pinotage flows into the glass of deep color and ensnares the nose with a multilayered bouquet of dark plums, ripe cherries and blackberries as well as with an elegant touch of floral notes. These beguiling aromas also continue on the palate, where they provide complete enjoyment with a pleasant freshness and chalky fine tannins.

The selected grapes first fermented in stainless steel tanks where the crushed berries were regularly pumped over before the wine was skimmed off and put into oak barrels where both alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation were completed. The Pinotage was then aged for 16 months in Puncheon barrels of 500 litres per barrel (40% new wood; 60% second growth and older).
