Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.
Only a small amount is produced each year from ten year old vines and it is sold in quick time too.
Pretty florals sit on the red fruit spectrum - lots of red snakes and strawberries too. A shake of pepper, the fruit rolls through the mouth softly and without much effort. There's a savoury fleck on exit calling for another sip. Layers of fruit and soft spice combine beautifully adding depth to the mid palate leading to a long and delicate finish.
Very slurpable. Very moreish.
