Springfontein Wine Estate Jonathan's Ridge Pinotage is full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and an intense and very rich finish. Due to the small size berries and long maceration on skins this wine has a more intense and more complex aroma profile. It is rich, full bodied with attractive black and red berry aromas, subtle oak spice, and sweet nuances of caramel.
From the cool Walker Bay limestone ridges of Springfontein comes this wild handcrafted and unfiltered wine. We naturally break down the colour of the juice from the gently pressed whole bunches without any chemical treatments. The wine shows pleasing fresh minerally, complex flavours and a long satisfying finish.
The specific Single Vineyard vines are (almost) constantly exposed to strong and cool winds from the Atlantic Ocean.
The top soil is shallow, with deep, soft limestone rocks in which most of the roots is established and draws minerals from.
