Information about "Saxenburg Private Collection Pinotage 2023"
The Saxenburg Private Collection Pinotage reveals a medium-bodied character, captivating the nose with an alluring bouquet of rose petals, dark plums, and ripe cherries. The palate delivers a well-balanced and smooth experience, enhanced by delightful nuances of red and black berry fruit, complemented by hints of dark chocolate, forest floor, and leather in the background. This delightful composition concludes with a lasting and juicy finish.
The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness, fully destemmed upon arrival at the winery, and then vinified in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was pressed and aged for 12 months in a combination of second and third-fill French oak barrels (300 L per barrel). Finally, the wine was bottled without fining.
