{"product_id":"spice-route-swartland-pinotage","title":"Spice Route, Swartland Pinotage","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"419\"\u003eSpice Route Swartland Pinotage is a South African red made from 100% Pinotage, sourced from a single block of bush-vine vineyard on the Klein Amoskuil farm in Malmesbury in the Swartland region. The vines, planted in 1997 on Koffieklip soils (iron-rich decomposed granite from the Paardeberg Mountain), produce wines known for their depth of fruit and firm structure. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"822\"\u003eIn the cellar, the grapes are fermented in open concrete fermenters with manual punch-downs to extract colour and flavour. After pressing, the wine is transferred to tight-grain American oak barrels (around 30% new oak) for malolactic fermentation and maturation, with a small portion also matured in underground clay pots to add texture and complexity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003eDeep ruby in colour, there are aromas of blackcurrant and ripe cherry with notes of dark spice, cedar and a hint of smoky oak. The palate delivers rich dark fruit flavours supported by bright acidity and velvety tannins, creating a bold yet balanced Pinotage with a smooth finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.018%; height: 132.359px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCoastal Region\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePinotage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlc.\/Vol.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 14.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 14.625px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for Vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 14.625px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.625px;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6406px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.9885%; height: 19.6406px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 48.5657%; height: 19.6406px;\"\u003eContains sulphites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Spice Route","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":63415535599965,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/9150\/8317\/files\/SR-Pinotage-2024.jpg?v=1770983446","url":"https:\/\/diffords.shop\/products\/spice-route-swartland-pinotage","provider":"Difford's Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
