The site is primarily red Glenrosa soil with some Oakleaf, both shale rich duplex soils, and the vines are not irrigated. Kasteelsig supplies grapes for some of South Africans top boutique wines. Yields are round 8 tons to the hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were hand picked into small baskets and taken to the cellar where they were hand sorted, destalked and gently crushed. The wine fermented with a mixture of natural and commercials yeasts in small open fermentation bins with 4 -6 punch downs per day. Before the wine was totally dry, we pressed and placed it in oak barrels to complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine matured in a mixture of French, Hungarian and American oak barrels for roughly 12 months, approximately 50% new wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8000 bottles have been produced – available both with natural cork and screw cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAging potential\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine drinks well as a young wine but will no doubt improve for at least 6-8 years from vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBlend information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinotage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWine Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol 14.39%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Sugar 3.4g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Acid 6.8g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePh 3.41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Platter Guide 4*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational Wine Challenge Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Mutual trophy wine show Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWine Advocate 89 points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintages may vary from those stated.
