Hoopenburg Pinotage 2020

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

This vivid Pinotage with a bright Persian red colour displays aromas of red cherries and blueberry compote on the nose - an explosion of fruit and perfume. The palate further unveils depth of fruit with layers of ripe raspberry and plum. This wine is concentrated, yet fresh and elegant with delicate tannins.

Other	Harvesting took place at a ripe balling of 25°. Cold maceration in open fermenters of the gently crushed and destemmed berries was allowed before fermentation started. Pressing and ageing in French oak barrels followed for 18 months. Finally the wine was racked into a tank. No fining and very coarse filtration was done before bottling.
