The grapes are selected from the best block of Pinotage. The first sorting is done in the vineyards by only picking the best quality bunches. Harvesting is done early morning to keep the grapes as cold as possible before being processed. On arrival at the cellar the grapes are inspected again to ensure quality. Deep crimson colour with the nose showing ripe dark fruit, integrated vanilla and toffee notes and with a touch of spice. The palate shows juicy red fruit held together by fine silky soft tannins with a long finish. Delheim Wines
