Fairview Primo Pinotage 2014 (2 x 750ml)

Our Primo Pinotage was harvested from a property in Agter Paarl. The vines grow under dryland conditions in duplex Glenrosa soils with well-drained, high water retention capacity subsoil. The vines are trellised and subjected to careful canopy management and crop control. We applied a heavy mulch of straw on the vine rows to encourage fine root growth and increase soil water holding capacity. The crop was reduced by one or two bunches per shoot, depending on the vigour of each vine. This resulted in a balanced crop to achieve concentration of flavour and texture in the wine. Tasting note: Deep red colour in the glass. Complex aromas of black fruit, raspberry, cloves and vanilla. The palate is fresh with red fruit flavours and elegant tannins on the finish.
