Very unusual taste, loved it. The smoked vibe that dried grapes add to this wine is absolutely delicious.

Delicious Pinotage, fruity with vanilla and chocolate aromas, love it! Great with cheese. 2014 Vintage.

Very surprised by the good reviews - this wine has far too much sugar on the finish - yes, it's made from dried grapes, but so is Amarone, which most of the time manages to keep the balance right. Nose is ok, I'd say quite nice even, but it all gets negated by that far sugary finish. Maybe that's intentional and just not my style. Perhaps it should be drunk with dessert or cheese.

Very nice drink to sip. Smooth. Very different to the usual red. I may have to pick up some more of these!

Pretty good, chocolate - not so obvious, overall nice one for a midweek dinner
