The wine:

Copper Lane is made 100% from Pinotage grapes which are carefully selected from bush vines by dedicated and specialist winemakers. The "Reserve" style is achieved by harvesting the grapes more mature than usual for rosé wines. The must is fermented at a cool temperature for three weeks to retain the fresh fruit sweetness in the wine. When the wine has reached the ideal alcohol and sugar level, fermentation is stopped, thus ensuring a wine with perfect fruit and freshness.

The area and the producer:

In Africa, the "Rhino" bush grows far and wide and darkens the landscape so that it looks almost black from a distance. This phenomenon has given its name to the area Swartland, which can be translated directly to "black earth", and from here the grapes for Copper Lane originate. Swartland is approx. 50 kilometers north of Cape Town and is today one of the new and exciting areas in South Africa. Knowledge of the wines from the area is constantly being spread, and not without reason. In the Swartland, wines with lots of character and extremely high quality are produced. Wines that show all the qualities of South Africa when it comes to wine production.
