Each contributes to uplifting the fruit and bringing a harmonious structure to the palate. 5% in first-fill barrels for a period of 14-16 months and 20% in second-fill and 75% in third and fourth-fill barrels for the same period.
Characteristics: A proud example of South Africa’s Signature variety. This Pinotage displays a beautiful rich purple colour with a bright crimson red hue. The nose is packed with bursts of mixed berry compote aromas and soft nuances of oak and vanilla that intertwine with juicy red fruit flavours to provide structure and length, Soft tannins and an elegant finish makes this wine the perfect partner to South African cuisine.
