Tasting notes
Der Petit Pinotage vom Winery Ken Forrester ist ein wunderbar saftiger und lebhafter Rotwein mit klassischem südafrikanischem Pinotage-Charakter. Dieser unkomplizierte, fruchtige Wein ist ideal für den Alltag und überzeugt mit seinem einladenden Stil.
On the nose it shows intense aromas of spicy mulberries, plum pudding and ripe cherry. On the palate the wine remains pleasantly soft, with gentle tannins and good drinkability.
The Petit Pinotage was vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit. Short maceration times keep the wine approachable and harmonious – ideal for uncomplicated enjoyment or sociable gatherings.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
