Pinotage 2005
Winemaker`s Comments:
The wine offers concentrated blackberry, vanilla and chocolate flavours, which are well supported by a velvety soft oak integration, a dark ruby colour and soft tannins. This elegant Pinotage with its full round palate can be enjoyed on its own, or is an ideal combination with beef, venison, pasta and cheese.
