Information about "Survivor Reserve Pinotage 2023"

The Survivor Reserve Pinotage 2023 captivates with its deep ruby hue. It unveils a rich bouquet of ripe red berries, accented by a hint of cinnamon and plums that engage the senses. This aromatic profile is echoed on a lush, generous palate, where nuanced vanilla and delicate cocoa notes emerge, thanks to its aging in select oak barrels. The flavor develops into an elegant harmony, featuring notes of fragrant roses and sumac spice, followed by a luscious blackberry jam and cinnamon. The finish is long and savory, marked by juicy black fruits and a refreshing liveliness that balances the robust tannins. A seamless blend of power and finesse makes this a standout expression of Pinotage.

Treatment in the cellar The mash was cold-soaked for 48 hours before the addition of yeast. Regular pump-overs occurred every six hours for extraction. The fermentation lasted five days, with temperatures rising to 26°C. At 4° Balling, the skins were pressed, and the gently pressed juice was combined with the free-run. The wine completed fermentation before being transferred to barrels. It underwent malolactic fermentation in 300-liter French oak barrels, 50% new, 30% second fill, and the remainder third fill. It aged for 24 months, with only the 15 best barrels selected for bottling.
