Pinotage 2023
6 x bottles per box
This proudly South African cultivar was harvested to make a wine with a dark berry color and typical Pinotage nose. It was barrel aged for 12 months giving it an interesting wood mouth feel with fruity undertones. The lingering aftertaste is due to this being a well-balanced wine. This wine should be enjoyed at your leisure with either rack of lamb or a good steak.
