False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage / 2023 / 75cl

Sourced from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in Stellenbosch planted in 1966. The attraction to this coastal, bush vine vineyard were the cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. The grapes are hand harvested, fermented spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'.

Fresh, plummy aromas with savoury, smoky notes. The palate is ripe and rich with vibrant black fruit characters offset by ripe tannins and a spicy finish.
