| Description: | 94 pts Decanter Andrew Howard Mw A very refined and elegant Pinotage. Carbonic maceration was used on a small part of the crop and the juice retained to blend in post-fermentation, adding extra fresh fruit character. A fresher style than the weighty 2016, this was matured in 400-litre barrels for nine months before spending more time in specially commissioned, neutral, Francois Frère foudres. One of the Cape's finest Pinotages, showing how good this grape can be in the right hands. Only 225 cases made. 4 ½ Stars 2020 Platter's South African Wine Guide Elegant 17 (94 pts) effortlessly asserts flavours of perfumed bright red & black fruit (50% wholeberry), balanced with ripe, integrated tannins, touch of leather & exotic spicy finish. 40% new French oak enhances & enrobes stellar fruit, assuring a great future. |
