The grapes were picked over several days to ensure perfect maturity of each block. Bunches were destalked and lightly crushed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and open top wooden foudres. After malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 16 months in 15% new French and a small percentage of older American oak barrels, before blending and bottling.
Enjoy with beef fillet or spicy Cape Malay curries.
Youthful ruby red in the glass. Aromas of red cherries, wild berries and plum with hints of oak spices. Dark fruit flavours with full bodied palate and well-integrated oak, fresh and firm tannin structure. Will benefit from further time in the bottle with recommended aging for 5 years.
Perfectly at home in Paarl, our Fairview Pinotage 2022 is harvested from both older dryland bush vines and from trellised vineyards on the Fairview farm in Paarl. The soils are mainly decomposed granite.
Pinotage is one of the more challenging varieties to work with. The naturally firm tannins need to be carefully managed, and the fruit profile respected. Time in bottle will certainly help to express the fantastic Pinotage characteristics and ultimately a very rewarding wine. – Anthony de Jager
