Scions Of Sinai Feniks Pinotage 2021 750ml
The vineyard is a single demarcated site in southern Stellenbosch, in the Lower Hedlerberg on the foot of the Granite Sinai Hill. The climate is Mediterranean but with a maritime influence from False Bay shore 3.5km away. The dry farmed bush vines were planted in 1976 by Koos and Pieter Bredell and are registered as old vines. Soils are well drained sandy silica, rich in granite.
Grapes are handpicked in the cool of the morning. 70% of the grapes are kept whole-bunch and are gently foot-trodden before fermentation, the rest are destemmed. Wines are basket pressed after a two-week natural fermentation, and transferred into old French oak barrels. The wine underwent malo and aged on its lees for 11 months. All the wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined with a touch of Sulphur.

Berries and bramble leaf aromas over the scent of earth after the rain, the palate is lean and refreshing, carrying those berries, but with a spine of minerals and a fresh finish.
