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

An excellent example of quality Pinotage. The grapes were hand picked at optimum ripeness and were taken to the winery in perfect condition. Warm berry fruit flavours and tobacco spice make for a full-bodied and complex wine that has depth and tremendous concentration. A Pinotage that rivals the Rhone for spice and generosity, but with exceptionally ripe fruit to boot. Ideal with roast red meats, game and barbecued food - as tested at many a good 'Braai' in South Africa!
