The 2023 vintage continues this legacy, crafted from bush vines grown without wire trellising, fermented in open-top barrels, and matured in 21 months of predominantly new French oak. The result is a powerful yet refined expression of Pinotage, built for aging yet expressive in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"706\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"755\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"718\"\u003eColour: \u003c\/strong\u003eDeep ruby garnet with purple hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"965\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eA complex bouquet of black cherries, mulberries, and dark plum.
