Tasted 19/08/2016
Juicy, zesty, easy-going Pinotage from free-run juice. No fining/filtering. Short skin contact in cold. Matured in SS tanks. 35-42yo vines.
Glittering violets color, ruby rim.
Appearance of smoky laurel, juniper bush, some inks over cornel, red currant, plum, bird cherry. Shades of violets and mocha.
Lively medium-bodied palate, nicely tart. Bit biting tannins behind wild cherry, red currant, ripe blackthorn flavors. Funky spice with underlying minerality.
Lifting acidity at quite racy, med- finish.
