The vines enjoy a Mediterranean climate cooled by breezes from the Atlantic, with relatively high rainfall for the region. Planted between 39 and 160 metres above sea level on south- to south-east-facing slopes, the vineyards lie notably on Glenrosa and Cartref soils. These conditions encourage gradual ripening and preserve the freshness of the grape variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes are harvested at the beginning of February and then fermented on their skins, with 4 pump-overs a day to encourage extraction. The wine is then aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels. This extended maturation gradually integrates the oak notes into the natural richness of the Pinotage, while developing its complexity and structure. The estate's traditional winemaking thus aims to preserve the depth of the fruit while giving the wine a broad texture and fine ageing potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eripe cherry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003estrawberry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eblackberry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, accompanied by hints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmoky cedar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003edark chocolate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroasted coffee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. On the palate, the wine is broad and generous, carried by ripe fruit and lovely acidity that brings balance. The ripe, structured tannins support a velvety texture, while the oak gradually integrates into the whole. The long, persistent finish extends the fruity, spicy and toasty sensations of this wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dionis","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":59317792997724,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/AN0060-GC-Website_-products_pinotage.png?v=1790762491","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-pl\/products\/groot-constantia-pinotage-rpa","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
