De Grendel Op Die Berg Pinot Noir 2016
Hand-picked fruit, nourished by the shale soils of the Ceres Plateau, was crushed before undergoing three days of cold maceration on the skins, after which it was fermented in stainless steel tank for approximately six days with gentle pneumatic punch-downs. The wine was then carefully basket pressed and transferred to second fill French oak for malolactic fermentation on the fine lees, after which it was moved into other second and third fill French oak barrels for a maturation period lasting 12 months.
