2024 Lievland Vineyards Pinotage Bushvine

Lievland Vineyards' Pinotage Bushvine is made from Pinotage grapes sourced from vineyards in the Paarl region (supplemented with a very small percentage of Cinsault and Syrah). After harvesting, the grapes are immediately destemmed and crushed in the vinification cellar, after which they are left to macerate under refrigeration for 2 days. Following this, the must undergoes temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Pressing takes place after approximately 2 weeks, and the young wine is transferred to used oak barriques made partly of French and partly of American origin. After 12 months of aging, the wine is blended, clarified, filtered, and bottled.

The Pinotage Bushvine from Lievland Vineyards is deep ruby red in color in the glass. On the nose, aromas of red currants, raspberries, and spices. On the palate, notes of ripe small black-red fruit, rhubarb, and vanilla, accompanied by a finish with soft tannins and mildly fresh acidity.
