Scions of Sinai Description
Vibrant, terroir driven bush vine Pinotage from decomposed granite and sandy soils that were dry farmed. Floral and red currants with some sour cherry fragrance and some plums.
Open top concrete fermenter (a.k.a Kuip) as wholebunches and then slightly stomped on by Bernhard’s (clean!) bare feet until there was enough juice. No additions or alterations were made throughout, just the pure healthy grapes extracting themselves over a 12 day period with minimal intervention, during spontaneous fermentation.
Then pressed off into a stainless steel tank for spontaneous malo fermentation where it then also aged in for 7 months before bottling. Bottled straight, unfiltered and unfined. No oak or barrel ageing involved. Uncomplicated and straight down to raw leaner Pinotage from a unique site and some special old vines.
