A Taste of the Western Cape
Sourced from the diverse macro-climates of the Western Cape, Tall Horse Pinotage benefits from a variety of environmental conditions. From the sunny southern slopes to the cooler coastal areas, the grapes develop a rich complexity. Hand-harvested during March at 24°B, these grapes ensure optimal ripeness and flavor intensity.
Artfully Crafted for Exceptional Flavor
The journey of Pinotage begins with a meticulous fermentation process. The wine is fermented on the skins for seven days at a controlled temperature of 24–28°C. Daily aeration enhances its robust character. After pressing, the young wine matures on French Oak for three months, where it completes malolactic fermentation. The result is a wine bursting with sweet cherry, dark chocolate, and roast coffee bean aromas, complemented by subtle oak spice and a vibrant fruity finish.
Perfect for Every Occasion
Tall Horse is best enjoyed within one to two years of vintage, ensuring the fruit remains fresh and vibrant. Serve slightly chilled for an effortlessly enjoyable experience. Pair it with classic comfort foods like fish and chips, roast chicken, or creamy macaroni and cheese. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for any gathering or casual meal.
