Using the saignée method for processing, we crushed our Pinotage grapes into a fermentation vat. After 12 hours of skin contact we bled off 1,000 liters of pink juice and transferred into a separate stainless steel fermentation tank. The juice was fermented as a white wine, but using yeast we typically use for red wine. A hands-off approach was used allowing the fruit to develop from its natural grape aroma and flavor compounds. Maturation occurred for 10 months in stainless steel prior to bottling. On the nose lavender, rose and fresh watermelon lift from the glass. The palate is clean and dry with a refreshing zing of watermelon. Pair with seafood such as oysters and fish tacos, or with roast chicken and brined meats.
