WINE MAKING PROCESS
The David & Nadia Topography Pinotage 2023 undergoes a winemaking process that emphasizes minimal intervention. Twenty percent of the grapes are fermented whole bunch in concrete and vertical wooden foudres. Gentle extraction is achieved through one punch down per day. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in a 4,000-liter vertical foudre. The producer, David & Nadia Wines, employs biological and practicing organic farming methods in their vineyards.
