Delheim Pinotage shows brooding dark fruits of black- currants and blackberries with spice notes of nutmeg and cloves on the nose. The palate opens up to juicy red and black fruits with a smooth and well-structured medium body. The tannins are silky with a long, dry savoury finish with subtle oak notes.
Hand-picked grapes were de-stemmed and crushed. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks with pump-overs done 6 times a day. The wine was fermented dry and then pressed. Malolactic fermentation was done partially in barrel and tanks. The wine was then matured in 300 L French oak barrels for a period of 18 months before blending. A light filtration was done before bottling.
