Product information "Spioenkop 1900 Pinotage 2016"
The Spioenkop 1900 Pinotage was also created in this vintage with a lot of passion and dedication. The wine presents itself in purple colour and reminds of a drop from Burgundy. It has a complex, multi-layered nose - one sniffs blackcurrants, raspberries, blackberry violets and seductively fragrant strawberries. A very elegant Pinotage style with soft structure, fine, noble tannins and a long lasting finish.

The grapes were harvested by hand into small 18 kg boxes and stored at night at 3°C, before being carefully destemmed. Soaked cold in a fermentor for 6 days, fermented with the help of spontaneous, wild yeast. Then the skin was carefully squeezed out. The malolactic fermentation took place in selected wooden barrels. Then the wine was matured for 11 months in French wooden barrels. The wine was neither refined nor filtered.
