Case of Raka Pinotage

Raka Pinotage shows earthy and dusty blue fruit with hints of malty toffee adding to the fruity succulence. Hints of pleasant dry spice. Gentle but firm medium bodied structure with a balanced and polished finish.

100% Pinotage

All grapes were hand picked and sorted before a pure yeast culture, BM 45, was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre of French oak for 12 months.
