A perfumed nose of blackcurrants, blackberries, dark cherries, bark, dried violets, orange peel and cigar box. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Fleshy and vibrant. Excellent texture.
The 2019 Pinotage has an oak-driven nose with spiced plum compote, black cherries, a floral essence and a kiss of volatility. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is generous on the palate and offers a sweet frame of oak with vanilla and spiced cherries before offering juicy yet rustic tannins across the mid-palate. The Pinotage concludes with a long, spicy and savory finish that needs at least one more year in bottle.
Aromas of cherry, baking spices and hints of herbs form the bouquet. Thanks to a smart use of oak, vanilla and tobacco blend nicely with berries. It’s a fresh, well-structured wine that finishes with notes of smoke.
A racy red, with light, crisp tannins and enticing tar and vanilla notes paired with sweet black raspberry and boysenberry fruit flavors. Medium-bodied, with an herbal overtone that lingers on the finish.
