Information about "Survivor Reserve Pinotage 2023"

The Survivor Reserve Pinotage 2023 presents a striking deep red hue that captivates the eye. Intense aromas of fresh red berries, spiced cinnamon, and ripe plums greet the nose, setting the stage for a rich and generous palate. Subtle hints of vanilla and light coconut spices reveal the influence of exceptional oak casks. Full-bodied and structured, this wine evolves with every sip, showcasing a harmonious symphony of aromatic roses and sumac spice, followed by blackberry jam and cinnamon. On the palate, the flavor deepens with luscious black plum, cherries, and blueberries. The finish is defined by a graceful interplay of rich dark fruits and juicy freshness, perfectly balancing the powerful tannins. A wine of strength and finesse wrapped in a silky package.

Treatment in the cellar The mash was cold-soaked for 48 hours before the addition of yeast. Regular pump-overs occurred every six hours for extraction. The fermentation lasted five days, with temperatures rising to 26°C. At 4° Balling, the skins were pressed, and the gently pressed juice was combined with the free-run. The wine completed fermentation before being transferred to barrels. It underwent malolactic fermentation in 300-liter French oak barrels, 50% new, 30% second fill, and the remainder third fill. It aged for 24 months, with only the 15 best barrels selected for bottling.
