Nederburg 56 Hundred Pinotage 750ml

Nederburg’s 56HUNDRED range of refreshing, fruity and smooth-drinking wines takes its name from the fifty-six hundred guilders that Philippus Wolvaart used in 1791 to start the farm he was to call Nederburg. He had the vision to recognise the wine- growing potential of this land and the optimism and drive to clear an untamed property and establish a flourishing farm that continues to thrive today, more than two centuries later. The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23° to 24° Balling from the end of January to mid-February. They were crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25°C to 28°C for seven days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in contact with French and American oak for seven months. Aromas of mulberry, ripe plums and sweet berries, with gentle oak spice. Juicy berries, soft tannins and a lingering aftertaste on this medium-bodied wine. Delicious with pasta, pizza, roast leg of lamb, bobotie and even chocolate.
