Description

The 2022 Scions of Sinai Atlantikas Bushvine Maritime Pinotage is a remarkable expression of coastal terroir, crafted by the passionate and dedicated Bernhard Bredell.

This unique Pinotage is sourced from two maritime bush vine vineyards located near the South Atlantic shoreline in False Bay. The cool, breezy conditions and high diurnal range of these sites contribute to the wine’s vibrant character. The vineyards feature diverse soils, with one consisting of light, sandy topsoil and decomposed granite, and the other rooted in clay-laden granite.

Grapes are harvested by hand in two separate picks, 15 days apart, to capture a range of ripeness. The winemaking process is meticulous and gentle, with 25% of the grapes fermented whole-bunch in open-top vessels, another 25% de-stemmed and fermented on skins for only three hours, and the remaining 50% de-stemmed and fermented in open-top vessels. The resulting wine is basket pressed, blended, and aged on lees for eight months before bottling unfiltered and unfined.

The 2022 Atlantikas Pinotage showcases aromas of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry with subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is light-bodied, juicy, and fresh, featuring red cherry and strawberry flavors with a slight earthy finish. Balanced acidity and soft tannins provide structure, making this Pinotage a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or enjoyed on its own.

This wine is a true testament to Bernhard Bredell’s commitment to preserving and showcasing the unique maritime influence on South African Pinotage. Enjoy it now for its youthful vibrancy or let it develop further complexity with age.

94 points - "Atlantikas is dominantly from a younger (mid 1990s) planted dryfarmed bushvine vineyard also on Sinai Hill (with a bit more clay and less silica than Feniks), still well drained and maritime facing. A small portion comes from a corner of the Feniks vineyard that has a severe soil difference as well as vine vigour. Also harvested early and more than a week prior to the Feniks portion (which lays on deep silica and has smaller bunches). Half the skins are removed from the ferment so there’s less extraction. No barrels here. This is looking to capture the maritime-influenced side of Pinotage, and it’s fresh, fruity and focused with amazing precision to the sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, as well as a touch of plum. Nice tart cherry on the finish, showing good structure." - Jamie Goode (Wine Anorak)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
