South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast .This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.
About The Harvest
Cool temperate conditions during the growing season resulted in small, concentrated berries. Veraison was even, therefore ensuring even ripening of grapes. The period was characterized by low disease incidence. During harvest, the cooler than average summer temperatures resulted in an excellent balance between sugar and acid. Lower yields deliver a well balanced wine that offers intense fruit flavours.

In The Cellar
Specially chosen Pinotage grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. They were crushed and destalked and then the juice was fermented on skins. The wine was racked off to staves before completion of alcoholic fermentation. After malolactic fermentation the wine was then further matured for 3 months before being blended and bottled.
