Vinification of The Owl Post Pinotage from Neethlingshof Estate

The The Owl Post Pinotage comes from the renowned growing region Neethlingshof Estate, where the grapes are carefully selected and cultivated to the highest standards. The cultivation takes place in a picturesque setting that provides optimal conditions for South Africa's typical Pinotage grape. The grapes are hand-harvested at the optimal ripeness to select only the best fruits.

The vinification begins with gentle destemming and crushing of the grapes. This is followed by a careful maceration to promote color extraction and aromas. The fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged in fine oak barrels, where it can develop its complexity and finesse. This aging gives the wine its characteristic character and the roasted notes that make it a special delight.
