This Pinotage shows vibrant aromas of cherry and raspberry notes, with a hint of cedar and vanilla from the oak maturation. The palate shows ample red fruit (red-berries and ripe plums) and a delicious savoury note. 7% Grenache adds vibrancy and complexity to the blend. Made from two unique 20+ year-old dry-farmed bush=vine vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. One vineyard has granite soils and produces wines that are structured and aromatic. The other vineyard is planted on shale. The fractured nature of shale makes for good water retention and give grapes of good fruit concentration with soft, elegant tannins.
Blend: 93% Pinotage, 7% Grenache
