Product information "Vondeling Bowwood Pinotage 2022"

The Vondeling Bowwood Pinotage pampers the senses with an incredibly intense bouquet of dark blackberries and black cherries as well as a seductive touch of sweet clove spice and vanilla oak tones. The palate is caressed by delicious nuances of strong berry fruit and black plums, beautifully accompanied by undertones of freshly roasted almonds and cigar box. The broad and richly full palate convinces with great fruit intensity, soft acidity and finely textured tannin. A full-bodied modern wine of international finesse!

Treatment in the cellar The grapes were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning and carefully sorted for further processing. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were cooled before being completely destemmed and subjected to a second sorting. The berries were not crushed, but fermented whole, resulting in a gradual extraction of tannins and colour, ensuring fine finesse and great ageing potential. During fermentation in open vats, the cap of skins was submerged at regular intervals for five days and, shortly before reaching the desired degree of dryness, was pressed in a traditional basket press into American oak barrels. After alcoholic fermentation was complete, malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrel. The wine then matured on the lees for 14 months, after which the best five barrels (300 litres per barrel) were blended and matured for a further eight months in the barrel. The wine then spent another six months in steel tanks, which ensures stability and clarity, before finally being bottled. Before release, the wine was aged for another year in the bottle.
