Enticing aromas of red fruits, with a touch of toffee and spice. A juicy burst of red cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavours, underscored by a bright acidity that keeps the wine refreshing. This medium-bodied Pinotage has a smooth texture, complemented by soft tannins that provide just the right amount of structure. Delightful red apple and ripe plum notes emerge on the finish. The oak influence is minimal, allowing the vibrant fruit character to shine through beautifully.
After de-stalking and crushing, the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with regular punch downs of the skins to ensure optimal colour extraction. A portion of the final blend was matured in a combination of older French and Hungarian oak barrels for a very short period, adding only a touch of oak nuances to the wine.
Pairings Barbequed meat, game meats like Springbok, Kudu and Ostrich, spicy Asian cuisine, seared tuna and duck with sweet plum sauce.
