Spice Route Pinotage 2024

R140.00 VAT Inc.

This Pinotage was crafted using whole bunches fermented in 5-ton open concrete fermenters, where the skins were manually punched down twice daily for optimal colour and flavour extraction. After pressing, the wine matured in tight-grain American oak barrels where it underwent full malolactic fermentation. The use of oak brings depth and a warm spiced character, while still allowing the purity of the fruit to shine through.

Description

Sourced mainly from dryland bush vines planted in 1997 on our Malmesbury farm, this Pinotage captures the essence of the Swartland. A touch of Darling fruit adds fresh lift and cool-climate clarity. Picked in February 2024, the wine shows vibrant plum and cherry aromas with warm caramel undertones. Rich and smooth on the palate, it offers dark berry flavours. It pairs beautifully with bold, spiced Indian cuisine or a perfectly aged steak, proving that Swartland remains Pinotage’s true home.
