"Our Pinotage is rejected by the technical committee because of insufficient cultivar characteristics.
We would like to challenge this decision.
It’s our goal to make a different style of Pinotage. A style
more resembling a Cru Beaujolais from France. As far as we know this has not
been done (often) before in South Africa. So it it’s quite logical that our
Pinotage has different characteristics. But this doesn’t mean insufficient. We
are of the opinion that after only 20 years of experimenting with Pinotage in
South Africa all characteristics of Pinotage are not yet known. Next to this it
could be also the case that it will show more like a (“sufficient”) Pinotage
when it gets older. It’s the 2013 vintage."
Waar je je als wijnboer allemaal mee moet bezig houden!!! Wordt vervolgd. Volgende week wordt hij weer (voor de derde keer) geproefd door een nog meer senior gezelschap. We zullen zien......
