Riebeek Pinotage 2020 750 ML

The color is an attractive bright, ruby red with a purple rim, typical of a young Pinotage. The flavors of this unique South African cultivar are complex and exciting with ripe plum and fruitcake all beautifully integrated and then finished with subtle oak for a lingering aftertaste. Vinification : Cold soaked overnight. Inoculated with selected yeast. Fermentation temperature reached 28 degree Celsius and thereafter fermented at 22 degree Celsius. Fermented on skins until enough flavour and colour were extracted for complexity and integration. Wine was matured with 80% French oak staves and 20% American oak staves which is blended with unoaked wine to enhance fresh fruity flavours.
