"Think blackberry stains, fingers pricked by brambles plus a dribble of red, crunchy fruits on the finish."
What to Expect
Pinotage, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, is considered to be one of the classic grapes from South Africa. It can produce a very distinctive wine with a hint of rubber on the nose that leads to a rather fruity palate with notes of banana, plum and cherry. While the grape is high in tannins, the wine is produced in a broad range of styles.

User Reviews
Think brawny, robust and sturdy but with a contradictory lightness. Think blackberry stains, fingers pricked by brambles plus a dribble of red, crunchy fruits on the finish. Drinkable, attractive, pleasing on the palate and well worth throwing a fiver at. Alcohol 14%. A Pinotage Shiraz blend.
