Pinotage - Zevenwacht

Pinotage - ZevenwachtWith the Zevenwacht Pinotage, a first-class red wine fills the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, purplish-red color. When the glass is held slightly tilted, a transition of the wine color towards garnet red is noticeable at the edges. On the nose, this Zevenwacht red wine presents all sorts of blackberries. As if that weren't impressive enough, further aromas like black cherry and coffee/mocha come into play due to the aging in stainless steel. This South African wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with 4.9 grams of residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities, and this South African delights naturally with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Flavor does not necessarily require much sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine presents itself beautifully velvety. Thanks to its vital fruit acidity, the Pinotage feels exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this mature red wine from the West Cape region, specifically from Stellenbosch, ultimately impresses with a nice lingering aftertaste. Vinification of the Zevenwacht Pinotage This powerful red wine from South Africa is vinified from the Pinotage grape variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the pressing house. Here, they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After vinification, a maturation for several months on the fine lees occurs before the wine is finally racked off. Food Recommendation for the Zevenwacht Pinotage This red wine from South Africa works perfectly as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes, but it is also a delight when enjoyed on its own.
