Hazy View – Pinotage – 2022

Description

PRODUCER NOTE:
20 years after the end of Apartheid, South Africa is finally making the wines it always promised it would. Hazy View wines are specially selected, blended to typify the classic South African grape varieties.

VINEYARD:
Sourced from vineyards in the Western Cape and produced at our partner winery in Paarl. The vineyards are situated in the mountainous and biologically diverse area in the South Western corner of Africa. The overall climate here is typically Mediterranean, but the mountainous landscape creates mesoclimates that are ideal for creating quality wines. The oceanic breezes from the Atlantic and the warmer currents of the Indian Ocean meet around the Cape of South Africa, influencing and refreshing the Western Cape vineyards.

WINEMAKING:
Produced at our winery in Paarl, the grapes were selected and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain maximum freshness and aromatics.

TASTING NOTE:
Medium bodied with ripe, brambly fruit through to a lively finish. This is a modern expression of South Africa’s signature grape, a very drinkable style.

Pinotage 100%.
