Post House Cellars derives its name from the small Post Office used to serve the local missionary community of Raithby, now a winery office and residence. Name Missing Virgin refers to printing error on Virgin Island stamp, virgin figure was omitted. Blend of 70% Pinotage & 30% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with purple hues, aromas of fruit and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blueberry and cinnamon with notes of wet earth. Medium+ finish, dusty fine tannins, ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes.

Quite different with the fruit forward touch of sweetness but lightly tannin’ed with a round body with a clean finish.

Nice french ending, earthy on the nose, dry fruity on the tongue. Really unique. Definitely buy again.

Red fruits and lots of cedar on the nose. Soft, leathery tannins and raspberry - a little hot.
