mehrere Informationen

In a deep garnet red, the Rijks Private Cellar Pinotage flows into the glass and exudes aromas of red fruits, ripe cherries, strawberries and cranberry. These intense fruit aromas carry through to the creamy, lush palate, supported by a dense concentration of velvety, dense tannins and very well integrated wood tones. Perfect harmony and balance! The cellar master recommends decanting one hour before drinking. Elegance, finesse and an extraordinary fruit complexity characterize this highly endowed Pinotage!

Treatment in the cellar

Before fermentation, a 48-hour cold swelling phase took place to extract maximum colour and fruit. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The Pinotage matured for 22 months in barrels of 60% French and 40% American oak. 40% of the barrels were new wood with first filling, 30% second and 30% third filled.
