The vines benefit from a climate tempered by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and from varied soils that blend decomposed granite with deeper clays. This contrasting terroir allows the grape variety to ripen slowly, retaining good freshness. The significant temperature variations between day and night promote intense aromatic expression while preserving the grape's natural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Pinotage grapes are hand-harvested and then placed in vats as whole bunches for a full-berry fermentation, promoting gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Fermentation takes place in open vats with light pump-overs and punch-downs to preserve the fruit and freshness. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is gently pressed and then aged in vats and used barrels to retain the pure and juicy character of the varietal, before bottling with minimal intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp red berries\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003efresh cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy plum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches reminiscent of violet and peony. \u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of sweet pepper and licorice mingle with a subtle, light \u003cstrong\u003eoak\u003c\/strong\u003e character.
