The Lanzerac Pioneer Pinotage is a tribute to the world's first bottled Pinotage - the 1959 Lanzerac Pinotage. The 2018 Pioneer has an excellent deep color in the glass and ensnares the nose with typical aromas of ripe red stone fruit. Immensely complex and velvety on the palate with a lush mouthfeel and delicious nuances of raspberry and blueberry. A long and persistent finish perfectly completes this masterpiece.

Treatment in the cellar

After harvesting, the grapes were first completely destemmed, sorted by hand with great care and then fermented naturally in open wood fermenters. The natural fermentation continued for seven days, after which the wine was pressed in a small and traditional basket press into new, second as well as third French oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation was completed. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was lightly sulfured and then aged in barrique for 21 months. During aging, the wine was racked twice to make the tannins more accessible and milder.
