Winemaker and winery: Wilhelm Kritzinger and viticulturist, Dirkie Morkel who is the fourth-generation owner of Bellevue Estate. Grape Variety: 100% Pinotage. Region: Stellenbosch, Western Cape. Viticulture/Vinification: Grapes are hand-picked in February from bush vines planted in duplex soils. The grapes were harvested at approximately 25° balling and fermented between 26- 28°C for about four days. The wine is aged in American oak barrels (50% new and 50% second-fill) for 12 months. Very, very aromatic – like good vanilla custard. Sweet, vanilla flavour which lasts well and some slightly bitter dark fruit. 14% major stores. 02/04/09 |
