The 2017 Klippenkop Pinotage fruit is sourced from 35 specially selected grape growing families in the Robertson Valley, South Africa. The Pinotage vineyards are grown in the lime-rich karoo soils with fairly high clay content. This soil enables growers to use regulated deficit irrigation to control vine vigour and berry size. Pinotage quality benefits a lot if quite severe water deficit is induced between berry set and veraison. After a strict vineyard selection, the selected fruit was harvested from middle February to the first week in March. Grapes were harvested at full ripeness between 23.5-26.5 B from a selection of vineyards. Malolactic fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
