My Wine of The Month for May is Stellenrust Corner Stone Pinotage 2023, WO Stellenbosch.
It is fermented in open concrete tanks with manual punch down of the cap every two hours for another 4-5 days. The wine is then drained from the skins and further fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation has been completed, it is matured in 100% French oak over a period of 12-14 months.
There's sweet berry fruits and about an hour after opening the wine really opened up and became smoothly supple. This wine no doubt has a long life, but why wait when it's lovely and so enjoyable now.
I visited the winery for a tasting in November last year and brought Corner Stone home with me.
