Grape

Pinotage

Origin
A bold and classy take on South Africa's signature red grape, this is somewhat removed from the medium-bodied, cherry-scented quaffers normally made from Pinotage. Hand-picked from a single vineyard site of mature vines and fermented and aged in French oak for 18 months.
Taste
Full-bodied, with a deep plum purple colour. Intense damson and black cherry fruit, accented with hints of smoked meat and truffle notes, and a spicy toastiness from the oak.
Enjoy
Drink with barbecued ribs or other flame grilled meats.

    Impressive

    We hosted a wine tasting recently so our friends could help us choose wine for our wedding and sampled a number of reds and whites. This was the clear winner amongst the reds with abundant fruity flavour and a pleasant smokiness. This is going to be fantastic to drink with barbecues or flame grilled steaks. The tannins weren't as dry as can be with some Pinotage - this would be a good choice for any newcomer to the variety.

    Juicy up front with nice complex layers that come out as you swirl it in your mouth

    i often find pinotage kind of awkward or really overblown. This one is a real surprise . Very nice
