The Off The Charts range reflects that philosophy particularly well, showcasing contemporary styles designed to highlight freshness, balance and drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"327\" data-end=\"672\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003eThe 2023 Off The Charts Pinotage comes from selected vineyards in the Breedekloof region, where warm daytime conditions and cooler evenings help preserve fruit clarity while allowing full ripening. Bruce Jack’s approach with Pinotage leans toward finesse rather than extraction, using careful oak integration and gentle handling to soften the variety’s more rustic edges. The result is a wine that remains unmistakably Pinotage, but with a brighter, more polished personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003eBright ruby red with youthful purple edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1311\"\u003eRipe plum, black cherry and raspberry dominate upfront, followed by notes of mocha, sweet spice and a touch of smoky earthiness.
