Balance Classic Selection Pinotage Shiraz Red Wine 750ml 13% (South Africa)

Classic Selection
PINOTAGE SHIRAZ

WINE DESCRIPTION

A deep purple colour with ripe plums, berry and dark
chocolate aromas on the nose. The intensity of the fruit is
carried on to the palate where it fills one’s mouth with juicy
tannins.

VINEYARDS

The vineyards are found in a variation in meso-climates,
exposed hills, and sheltered valleys, with soils from Granite,
Sandstone soils and Alluvial soils. Grapes are picked from a
selection of these dierent wards in the Western Cape.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES
The grapes were cold soaked for a day. After traditional skin
fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2022 season will be remembered for the initial cool
weather conditions that made ripening very slow. Phenolic
ripeness occurred later and that lead to longer maturation
time in the vineyards, creating exciting wines that are full
and complex.

FOOD PAIRING
The wine compliments dishes such as tapas, cold meat plates,
grilled goats cheese salad or light red meat dishes.
