Saxenburg Estate Pinotage 2001
Mouthfilling, plummy. Matured in American Oak. A full-bodied wine with prominent plum fruit and fine tannin balance. Best enjoyed with food.



Vinification Details: Machine harvested at optimum ripeness, yeast fermented in open tanks with plunging and pumping over three times per day. Malolactic fermentation in the tank.



The 2001 vintage was a good one for Saxenburg, delivering grapes of a high quality. The colour of these red wines is intense and the balance of the wines very fine. All in all this vintage was small but elegant resulting in wines that are worthy followers to that of the very bold 2000 vintage. To compliment the 2001 vintage, Saxenburg invested in
increased quantities of new wood - the results of which are very exciting!
