Product description
Roodekrantz Wines is a small boutique label that crafts fine artisanal wines from selected blocks of old dry land vines. South Africa’s ‘Old Vine Project’, which aims to keep rare old-vine fruit away from large commercial blends, saw the Burger and Morkel families release the first Roodekrantz wines in 2015. Committed to preserving these ancient Certified Old Vine Heritage Vineyards, they work closely with their growers, encouraging respectful and sustainable vineyard practices.
Grapes from 20-year-old vines in Swartland and Paarl are carefully irrigated and trellised for optimal growth. Plenty of red plum and wild berry fruits on the nose which continue on the palate and just a touch of oak complement the flavours. This is a great, refined expression of Pinotage.
