Kaapzicht Pinot Noir 2017
The noble Pinot Noir makes its debut for Kaapzicht with more concentration, colour and character than expected. Lovely sweet and sour cherries accompanied by elegant tannins.

Ageing | |
Cellar | It is only a small amount - 2.3 tons, which we fermented in a small open top tank. We punched down twice a day as we were careful not to over extract the wine. Bottelary with its low potential granite soils always give low yield with high intensity fruit. The result is a darker than normal Pinot Noir (even with us only wetting the cap twice a day) It is pressed off after 10 days and taken back to old barrels for 15 months. |
Harvest | We picked the grapes at 24 Balling - nice dark ripe fruit. |
Vineyard | Vines planted in weathered granite soil. Yield of 4-6 tons per hectare. |
