Visio Vintners Pinotage
Tasting Notes
A soft and elegant wine with a nose of ripe dark plums and blackberries. On the palate the wine delivers juicy, ripe berry fruit but with a dry finish. The natural acidity and tannin structure will allow maturation over the next 3-5 years. Enjoy on its own or with a variety of grilled meat or vegetables. Excellent slightly chilled in summer with smoked trout or salmon or a spicy vegan salad.
Method of Production
Harvested early morning to ensure cool, healthy bunches are delivered to the winery. The grapes were destemmed, and half transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation with regular pump-over. The other half of the wine was fermented in open cement tanks with regular punch-downs and pump-overs to extract tannin and colour. The wine was pressed and transferred to 2nd and 3rd fill barrels for maturation for 18 months.
