Man Family Wines Pinotage Bosstok 2016

From trellised and un-trellised vineyards in the Perdeberg Hills region. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 23-25 C over 5 days with frequent pumpovers. At around 8 degree balling, the skins were removed and the wine was pressed and racked back to tank for completion of alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation. 30% of the wine was matured in American and French oak barrels (25% new) for 12 months. 14% Shiraz was added for its silky tannin structure and fruit spice flavours. After further tank maturation, wine was fined and filtered, then bottled.

Deep ruby red in the glass, it's bold and juicy with red-berry fruit flavours and a touch of sweet oak spice. Deliciously moreish. Pinotage goes well with a wide range of foods. It's the only wine for eel, and the sweet fruit flavours make it an ideal match for spicy curries. Also the perfect complement to a steaming bowl of 'roo stew!
