The optimal conditions in South Africa, with cold winters and warm summers, provide the ideal prerequisites for good wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAroma and Taste:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePinotage - Cape Creek presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red and violet reflections. A spicy aroma of ripe, red fruits (strawberries). A smooth wine, round in the mouth with soft tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis elegant red wine from South Africa is made from a cross between the Pinot Noir and Cinsault grape varieties (also known as \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gwt-InlineLabel\"\u003ePinotage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in South Africa). The grapes are harvested at full ripeness, destemmed, crushed, and fermented for 6 to 12 days. Temperature-controlled fermentation at approx. 32° C. The wine is quickly clarified, filtered, and bottled to preserve its rich aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe white wine pairs excellently with various meats, cold cuts, salads, and cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information about our Bag-in-Boxes:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHose, Jug, Amphora\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a long journey from glass, a luxury good – as in antiquity – to today's mass product, soda-lime glass. This type of glass is used for the production of bottles, packaging, drinking glasses, and mirror or window glass (flat glass).\u003cbr\u003eIn earlier times, glass manufacturing was very expensive and unreliable. So wine, oil, beer, and other liquids were filled into jugs, amphorae, or leather wineskins. Only the techniques of glass blowing and glass pressing made it possible to produce bottles in large numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, glass bottles have serious disadvantages: they are fragile, heavy, require relatively a lot of storage and shelf space, are difficult to seal (the old \"cork problem\") and even harder to reseal after opening, and their environmental footprint is not impressive even with consistent recycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood Wine in New Bags\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Bag-in-Box packaging (literally \"bag in box\") consists of an inner plastic bag (\"bag\") for the liquid and an outer corrugated cardboard packaging (\"box\") that protects the bag from mechanical damage and light. The liquid is dispensed from the bag via a tap. The contents of the bag decrease without air entering the bag and without oxidation occurring.\u003cbr\u003eThe principle was invented in 1955 as a liquid container by William R. Scholle and was probably first used as wine packaging by an Australian winemaker in 1965, and since then has become widely established, particularly in Anglo-Saxon countries, Scandinavia, and the wine country of France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn New Zealand, Australia, or the USA, a considerable proportion of wine production is already sold in Bag-in-Box. In Scandinavia and Great Britain, many fruit juices and dairy products are also packaged this way, in addition to wine. In Germany, it has so far been popular mainly with discounters offering wines from Southern Europe and for wine exports from renowned German wineries. The \"Bag-in-Box\" is increasingly gaining friends among winemakers and connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBag-in-Box Beats Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBag-in-Box is more environmentally friendly, ecologically and economically cheaper to produce, saves weight and volume during transport and storage (thus fuel during transport), and is easy and good to recycle: the bag goes into the yellow bin, and the box into the paper bin. Production, use, filling, and recycling of the Bag-in-Box consume less material, thus approximately 80% less energy and less water than a glass bottle. All in all, the Bag-in-Box causes over 80% less CO2 emissions compared to a glass bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, because of the principle with a bag and tap, no air gets to the contents even after opening, so the wine remains enjoyable for at least 4 weeks after opening. There are also no negative effects on the taste due to the plastic of the bag – and wine in a Bag-in-Box cannot be corked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever: Bag-in-Box is not suitable for long-term storage of wine. A Bag-in-Box with wine should not be stored for longer than two years. Therefore, we only offer ready-to-drink wines in Bag-in-Box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cape Creek","offers":[{"title":"1 Box","offer_id":56749109576012,"sku":"12346","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 boxes","offer_id":56749109608780,"sku":"12347","price":55.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/7235\/4636\/files\/30437-684534-04.jpg?v=1771382747","url":"https:\/\/ka3irg-7v.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/pinotage-cape-creek-bag-in-box-3l-rotwein-trocken-aus-sudafrika","provider":"Feinste-Weine.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
