Robertson Winery ASHTON VINEYARD Pinotage Ruby Cabernet RSA
Description: For the first time in many years the Robertson region experienced good rains and cold temperatures during the winter. It was good in that it helped to build up a little ground water, as it was not necessary to irrigate the vines during the winter months. Spring arrived at the beginning of September; overall bud break was very good due to the cold conditions of winter. Night temperatures in October and November were significantly cooler compared to the previous year. This ensured good acidities. This true South African variety, developed in 1925, is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut. Fruit was harvested in the first week of February from 43 specially selected grape growers in the Robertson Valley. Pinotage by nature is a heavy bearer therefore the majority of our vines are planted in sandy soils and irrigation is restricted to limit excessive growth. The harvest started on 28 January 2003. Attention to detail was well managed and has resulted in good potential in the quality of the wines. Grapes were harvested at full ripeness between 23,5º (12 x 75 cl)
