Springfontein extracts a wine from the limestone terroir of the Hemel-en-Aarde region that shows the grape variety from its more serious side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winery is located in the southern tip of Walker Bay, where the Atlantic Ocean lowers the temperatures and the vines ripen slowly. Organic cultivation, limestone soils, cool nights — this fundamentally shapes the character of the grapes. Ten months of aging in French barriques, 30% of which are new and 70% second-fill, provide structure without overpowering the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, deep ruby red with a violet rim. On the nose, dark plum, blackberry, and a hint of smoke — typical for Pinotage, but without the heavy bitterness that characterizes cheaper versions. On the palate, medium body, lively acidity for the region, tannins with grip. The finish shows some cocoa and dry earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairs well with grilled lamb chop, beef potjie, or strong hard cheese. \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature: 16–18 °C.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springfontein Wine Estate","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":53538633515344,"sku":"VJ3126-2022","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/532001.jpg?v=1788442375","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/pinotage-terroir-selection-estate-wine-of-origin-walker-bay-0-75l","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
