We are proud to announce that the Lyngrove Platinum Pinotage 2009 has been selected as one of the top 20 finalists for the Absa Top 10 Pinotage 2011 competition. This is our 4th year in succession that we have reached the finals and this is truly a special moment for the Lyngrove team.
Visit us at the Guangdong Wine and Spirits Fair from 26-28 June 2011 at the South African pavillion.
Visit us in Bordeaux at Vinexpo from 19 – 23 June 2011. Hall 3, U-335.
Initial cool, rainy conditions in May and June 2010 resulted in cool soil temperatures for a sufficient rest period for vines, but the rest of winter (July, August) was dry with below-average rainfall and therefore the soil moisture was depleted early in the season. In Stellenbosch we recorded about 30% less rain than the long-term average, which means it was a very dry winter.
We had a warm August, with bud burst 7days earlier. This encouraged good shoot growth. A strong southeaster wind blew in spring but not with the same force (and damage done) as in 2009/2010.
September brought favourable conditions for flowering. Long, dry summer days resulted in great colour in the Reds this year. December was characterised by lots of wind – significantly more wind than the long-term averages (the most wind in 42 years).
Initially a late harvest was expected but warm, dry conditions in December and heat waves in beginning of January and the 27th of February made the grapes ripen at a faster pace. Higher than average temperatures during February and March accelerated the ripening process significantly and the 2011 harvest was concluded 3weeks earlier and at a very fast pace! Average temperatures were 2.5 degrees Celsius higher than long-term averages.
Early/midseason cultivars like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage (picked before the February heat waves) ripened at the usual time with excellent fruit flavours and fresh acidity, while warm and dry conditions caused later cultivars to be crushed earlier than usual. Stellenbosch received only 4mm of rain in January and February and therefore irrigation was very important for this vintage to help the vines reach phenolic ripeness without excessive sugar levels. The red wines have small concentrated berries with good skin/fruit ratios, wonderfully ripe tannins and excellent colour.
The annual wine festival will be held this year from 28 to 31 July 2011.
