Information about "Rijk's Private Cellar Pinotage 2023"
With a deep garnet hue, the Rijk's Private Cellar Pinotage 2022 fills the glass, emanating captivating aromas of ripe strawberries, dark blackberries, and cranberries, intertwined with subtle hints of spicy sweet cherry tobacco. These intense fruit notes carry through to the rich, creamy palate, supported by a dense concentration of velvety, elegant tannins and well-integrated oak nuances. Perfect harmony and balance characterize this distinguished Pinotage! The cellar master recommends decanting at least an hour before enjoying to fully appreciate its elegance, finesse, and remarkable fruit complexity.
A 48-hour cold soak occurred before fermentation to maximize color and fruit extraction. The malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, with the Pinotage aging for 22 months in a mix of 60% French and 40% American oak, utilizing 40% new barrels, 30% second-fill, and 30% third-fill.
