Allée Bleue Wines Black Series Old Vine Pinotage 2018

Grapes were harvested, hand sorted and crushed. 4 day cold soak and then inoculated before regular punch downs. Pressed and straight to barrel. After maturing for 16 months, the three best barrels were selected to make this release. Winemaker's Notes All the berries are here, strawberry, raspberry, blackberries and plums. Wrapped in a layer of fine dark chocolate and offset with a touch of liquorice. The mouthfeel is soft and silky with just enough tannin. This wine will evolve and mature into something really special.

Un-grafted bush vines planted in 1976
