After hand-sorting, the cooled grapes were destemmed and only the finest berries of size were selected on the sorting table. With cold maceration, excellent purple-hue colours were obtained. This process, together with an extended cool fermentation time on the skins, enables the Pinotage juice to optimise its pure concentrated layers of dark spicy fruit flavours.

During the delectate (the rack and return) process on the skins, the extractions of the grape-fruit tannin were monitored daily. Leaving the grapes for two weeks after fermented dry, this wine developed with powerful grape-fruit tannins on the palate. The wine was racked into the best selected first fill French oak barrels and left to complete malolactic fermentation. After ageing for 16 months in 100% new wood, our experienced winemaking-team re-selected only the best barrels for the Passione Pinotage 2017
