Information about "Illimis Pinotage 2023"
The Illimis Pinotage reveals a refined expression of this iconic grape, characterized by luscious pureed berries, ripe plums, and a floral hint of violet on the nose. A subtle earthiness and spices emerge on the palate, showcasing a tempting mouthfeel that gracefully unfolds. The finish is persistent, marked by smooth, elegant tannins. Sourced from the Polkadraai Hills in Stellenbosch, this vintage stands out for its lighter style, inviting wine enthusiasts to explore its complexity.
Wie bei den anderen Weinen von Illimis basiert auch der Ausbau des Pinotage auf einer minimalistischen Herangehensweise: Die Trauben werden überwiegend im Ganzen gepresst, die Gärung erfolgt auf natürliche Art und Weise, und der Wein reift für 7 Monate in alten, neutralen Eichenfässern.
