The colour looks surprisingly mature for its age but the wine is brimming with flavour and intrigue. Exceptional...
A decidedly smoky, very mature, medicinal example of pinot noir to be sure, one might say distinctly South African,...

An easy drinking savoury Pinot that should please a wide range of taste buds
Description: Light garnet in colour with a medium intense nose. This wine features lightly smoked oak, bramble, strawberry, sour cherry, forest greens and a touch of spearmint. Medium to light body with low tannins, good acidity and a fairly long length.
Negatives: A little heat from the 14%
Drink now or in the next 5 years on its own or pair it with Pork cutlets served with strawberry balsamic sauce.
