La Cave Pinotage 2021
R195,00 incl. VAT
TASTING NOTES (August 2023)
Inviting deep purple colour, with unmistakable Pinotage characteristics on the nose – plums, red berries, exotic spices and earthy beetroots. Oak-derived notes of coffee bean and vanilla add further interest. The palate is focused and precise, with a finely-grained, mouth-coating tannin structure and integrated new oak flavours. On the finish, the wine displays lengthy flavours of juicy, ripe plums and red fruits. A beautifully balanced, dense and rich style of Pinotage.
