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.

Winemakers Notes

PINOTAGE is the quintessential South African grape. A rare fi nd
indeed! A distinctive ruby-red appearance loaded with plum and
raspberries. Wood tannins are well-integrated and friendly. An
excellent example of this unique South African grape.
Winemaker’s comments
Healthy, full grapes (24 °C) were fermented on the skins for 7 days
at 27 °C. After malolactic fermentation the wine is matured on a
combination of French and American oak.
Food pairings
Enjoy with pork and lightly curried dishes or just sip with friends.
