- Tasting Notes:
This fruit delicious forward Pinotage displays a dark crimson colour. Bursting with sappy red berry fruit such as red cherry and raspberry, there is a touch of sweet spice that creates interest. The wine washes over the palate with an energetic freshness and good depth of flavour. The majority of the juice is unoaked, but around 10% of the blend will spend time in old French oak for 8 months.
- Grape Types: Pinotage
