WOLF & WOMAN Wines Pinotage 2022

Two pickings were done from each vineyard, providing us with berries with varying characteristics. This, in turn, gave the final blend more character and depth. All of the grapes were hand-picked early in the morning, packed in crates, and rested in a cold room
for 24 hours.

Bunch sorting was done the next day, after which the grapes were transferred to open-top fermenters – 15% whole bunch, and the rest whole berry – where it cold-soaked for 3 days before natural fermentation started, supported by one punch-down per day.

Once fermentation was completed, the wine was left on the skins for 12 days before pressing, and being transferred into a combination of old 300L and 500L barrels. The vintage was then allowed to mature for 10 months before it was racked, blended, and bottled.
