Boland Cellar’s Pinotage vineyards deliver fruit for different styles of wine from our varying climatic zones within the Paarl and Coastal areas.

The grapes selected for our Cappupino ccinotage come from deep shale soil vineyards that ripen later, resulting in a longer hanging time and producing super ripe fruit. This together with the history of which blocks produce the best results for this coffee style Pinotage, gives us the ability to craft a wine that delivers outstanding results with heavy toasted French oak staves.

The grapes must have dark pip ripeness preferably combined with sweet plum and succulent ripe fruit.  Grapes were predominantly selected from the Paardeberg area which delivers fruit without any jammy notes. 

After careful selection, the grapes were harvested from different growers, early in the morning, to retain the robust fruit flavours.

The grapes selected from various growers were vinified separately to retain unique flavour profiles and create building blocks for the final product. After crushing, the grapes underwent a two-day cold-soaking period and was inoculated with a South African yeast strain.

The wine fermented cold and slowly and was taken from the skins at about three degrees balling before adding selected French oak charred wood staves that delivers rich coffee and chocolate characters on the palate.  Due to further fermentation on the wood, good wood tannin interaction was achieved.  Uniquely, we like to follow a style that expresses cultivar fruit in balance with the oak.

After malolactic fermentation, the different building blocks were carefully blended to create our own unique coffee style Pinotage.

The Boland Cellar Coffee-Style Pinotage delivers layers of dark prune, plum and sweet blueberry flavours with a prominent cedar French oak finish, reminiscent of Mocha Java.  Due to the beautiful extraction of Pinotage fruit flavours, the oak was well integrated and delivered a wine with a creamy lingering finish.
