The wine was fermented with selected commercial yeasts in open bins and punched down four a day by hand. Only second, third and fourth-fill French Oak barrels were used to mature this wine for 16 months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlueberries and cassis tumble into a spicy, fruity mix with a juicy, lightly gamey finish. It’s long, layered and fresh while being incredibly easy to drink. It's drinking delightfully now, but will also reward careful cellaring until 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanzerac’s Aliquid Novi Pinotage showcases the full potential of South Africa’s signature grape. It demonstrates finesse, age-worthiness and a sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is best enjoyed with flavoursome meaty dishes like crispy duck pancakes, a pork-based pasta, venison or robust vegetarian dishes. It loves umami, much like a good Pinot Noir! Decanting before serving allows its character to shine fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sohowine.co.uk\/products\/wine\/?wpf_filter_colour=red\u0026amp;wpf_fbv=1\u0026amp;wpf_filter_country=south-africa\"\u003eRelated products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Soho Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58250985898371,"sku":"B-LANZPAN","price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/8208\/4739\/files\/B-LANZPAN_a86e0e67-ce29-4f7d-8ca1-3dea1a7a0ea7.jpg?v=1782827838","url":"https:\/\/beyondbottles.co.uk\/products\/lanzerac-aliquid-novi-pinotage","provider":"Beyond Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
