Rijk’s CWG Pinotage 2013
To ensure maximum fruit and colour retention, the grapes were hand-picked in the cool of the night. The crushed berries were given a 48 hour cold maceration prior to fermentation. Manual punch-downs were done three times a day to extract tannin and colour. Skins were pressed at 5° Balling. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels. Matured for 22 months in one new and one second fill French oak barrel.
