This is the richest most fruit concentrated, supple pinotage I have ever tasted. It's almost Pinotgae with a twist. The wine is made up of 15% Pinot Noir which has added length and softness to the backend. The next twist is that they take a percentage of the Pinotage grapes and they wind dry them just like the process that is used to make the famous Amarone wines from the Veneto in Italy. The result is a wine that has superb concentration and added opulence and richness. This wine is delicious. I strongly recommend. Deep garnet red in color. The bouquet is complex with wild berries, spice and cherries. On the palate the wine shows full body and rich extract with fruit flavours balanced elegantly by tannins in a long finish that reveals a sweetness of liquorice. Any red meat especially barbecued, the heavier the better. Also a great addition to spicy foods such as curries and Mexican.
