Maastricht Pinotage 2024
R195.00
From the vineyard
The fertile Durbanville soil, quality of the dry-land Pinotage grapes, as well as the high rainfall, warmer summer days and cooler nights all contribute to the quality of Maastricht wines.
In the cellar
The grapes were hand-picked, de-stalked and crushed into open fermenters “kuipe”. Inoculated with NT 50, punched through for every 4 hours. The wine was pressed at 5°B. Malolactic fermentation completed in tank before maturation in French oak barrels for 15 months.
The winemakers notes
The nose is led by vibrant red fruits and subtle notes of black cherry, complemented by a hint of toasty oak. On the palate, the wine opens with a silky texture, featuring smooth, refined tannins and a rich, juicy finish that enhances the overall experience.
