50% of the grapes for this wine come from 44-year-old bush vines, while the other 50% of the grapes come from 24-year-old, barred vines. They grow on a plot of land in the north, defined by soil rich in clay and organic matter, known as “Red Hutton.” The alcoholic fermentation took place for 4 days between 26°C and 28°C in open fermenters. During this time, the mash was pumped around for every three hours to achieve better extraction. The malolactic fermentation then took place to 100% in French oak barrels. After the removal of milk acid, the Pinotage matured for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new.
