Beaumont Jackals River Pinotage

R300.00

Pinotage was the very first wine made at Beaumont wines and 25 years later we are still passionate Pinotage producers!  80% of the fruit comes from our 46 year old vines providing dryness and structure while the younger portion provides lovely vibrant fruit. Our style reflects the cooler climate of the Bot River region. Ageing potential 8-15 years.

Description

WINE OF ORIGIN: BOT RIVER

Harvested between mid February and mid March the grapes are then crushed into open concrete fermenters. Punched down 3-4 times per day until end of ferment, then pressed and taken to barrel for 18 months and then taken to tank for another 8 months. Fresh red berry fruit with a deliciously drinkable medium body and well integrated tannins.

Good healthy and dry conditions in the 2017 vintage allowed us to ripen the fruit fully while still retaining freshness. Yield was half of a normal vintage. Grapes were harvested and crushed directly into concrete tanks, followed by an immediate inoculation for a clean fermentation. Controlled temperatures allow for an optimum extraction period. Regular punch downs were done to assure good colour and tannin structure. 18 months in 100% French oak. 25% new oak.
