The approach is natural and simple, yet also rigorous and labour-intensive. Regeneratively farmed, handpicked and hand sorted by the team at False Bay Vineyards. Fermented whole bunch with wild yeast in a small open top oak fermenter with manual punch downs during fermentation. Left on the skins and stems for 25 days before being pressed off in a basket press and transferred to older barriques for a maturation period of 24 months before bottling without fining and only the lightest of filtrations.
Professor Perold’s creation, Pinotage, was propagated at Elsenburg College in 1935. In 1941 Myrtle Grove on the Schapenberg was chosen for the first commercial plantings. Today only one block remains on the Schapenberg – The Last of The First. Completely different in style to inland Pinotage. Elegant, perfumed, graceful pinotage.
