Information about "Rijk's Pinotage Reserve 2021"
The Rijk's Pinotage Reserve 2021 presents an engagingly rich and full-bodied character, displaying a deep red hue in the glass. Its complex bouquet reveals an enticing medley of red berries, cherries, and plums, underpinned by nuanced spicy notes and a touch of well-integrated oak that enhances the fruit profile. This harmonious aromatic intensity seamlessly translates onto the palate, where it showcases a creamy richness and voluptuous texture. Silky, well-integrated tannins maintain perfect balance, promising remarkable longevity for this exceptional Pinotage.
The grapes underwent a cold soak for 48 hours to extract color and fruit. Malolactic fermentation occurred in oak barrels, followed by a 22-month maturation in French oak (60% new, 40% second-fill). Only the finest 20 barrels were selected to create the final blend.
