The Sulphur debate (part 1 of 3)
Oct 28, 2010 6
At the recent launch of South African icon wine producer, Kanonkop’s prestigious “Black Label” Pinotage, owner Johann Krige pulled out a few older vintages to show the maturation potential of these wines. The chemical analysis of all the wines were proudly presented and the different sulphur levels were particularly interesting. The older vintages were bottled at significantly lower sulphur levels than that of the current release and most red wines on the market. Despite this, they still kept magnificently well and were brimming with fresh fruit, boasting dark, attractive color.
