PINOTAGE
A special selection of grapes are destined for Bruce Jack reserve reds. Grapes are harvested early in the day. They are then crushed, destemmed, and fermented on the skin. Open and closed pump overs are given for colour extract. From there the juice is fermented, blended, stabilized and filtered.
Further proof that the Breedekloof produces exceptional Pinotage. Black cherry, plum, dark chocolate and spice on the nose introduce an explosion of black forest fruit on the palate, framed in chocolatey, toasty oak.
Can be enjoyed now or cellar at cool temperature for 5 years.

Pinotage goes surprisingly well with sushi, try it. Thai food is a natural partner as is barbequed meats, particularly game.
