Braai Wine

The notes of dark fruit and spices on the nose. The tannins are firm and are carried by dark, inky fruit and fresh acidity. It would show best after some time in bottle and being decanted.

Country: South Africa

Region: Western Cape - Durbanville / Stanford

Grapes: 100% Pinotage

ABV: 12%

This elegant rose uses exclusively the free run juice of Pinotage, which is the first collected must when the grapes are moved into the press, essentially allowing the grapes to be crushed by gravity, ensuring a minimal extraction of colour from skins and also preserve the natural acidity. This style of production is typically very delicate giving fine, soft and very fruity wines. Rose gold in colour with aromas of fresh red fruits and floral notes. The palate is crisp and full of flavours of raspberry, strawberry and grapefruit, finishing with a distinctive savoury minerality.

Black Elephant Vintners call themselves ‘Rebels of the Vine’ and are pushing the boundaries of a traditional industry and having fun with their wines as seen by their labels. Based in the quaint village of Franschhoek, Kevin, Jacques and Raymond came together to combine their diverse skills and creativity to make great wine. They took inspiration from their surnames to become the Black Elephant Vintners - Swart and Ndlovu become `Black Elephant` and Jacques is the Vintner! Their wines are inspired by good tunes and they firmly believe that music and wine make the best pairing - far from traditional and very Rock ‘n’ Roll!

The grapes are harvested at night, and then undergo 21 days of alcoholic fermentation. The wine spends 100 days on primary lees, and all racking is done under CO2 for 2-3 weeks.

Zero Dosage represents Methode Cap Classique in its purest form, allowing the grape, site and vintage to truly shine. The grapes were sourced from a single vineyard and hand harvested before whole bunch pressing using the champagne method. Post fermentation, the wine is matured on its primary lees for 3 months prior to racking when the wine is then allowed to slowly ferment and mature in the cellar for 12 years prior to disgorgement. The nose invites a vibrant bouquet of peach, almonds and exotic spice, complementing a palate of stone fruit, brioche and a lingering, pleasant mousse.
