Deep golden colour. Pure nose of peach and citrus with some vegetal notes like celery coming through. Big and bold flavours on the palate but with good acidity. Worked very well with Asian stir-fry. β 6 years ago
Very light. Plum with alcohol coming off the nose. Rich mix of flavors. β 2 years ago
Really good savory Champaign. Dry, but not too harsh. Leah liked. β 3 years ago

Dark purplish ruby red. Some classic Pinotage notes on the nose with some smoky and savory elements, dark berries, purple flowers and slightly burnt rubber. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Big palate full of blackberries, black cherries, cedar and baking spices. Long and lingering palate with great mouthfeel. Drink till 2030.
