Pinotage is South Africa's own cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. It gets a bad rap for heavy-handed versions, but old vines and a gentle touch tell a different story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet spices, cassis and ripe berries, with sugared orange peel, rooibos and a smoky charcuterie note on the nose. The palate has soft, juicy tannins and a savoury, lingering aftertaste. About 14% ABV. Pair with braai, charcuterie or hearty stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handpicked and sorted, then partially fermented in small bins with the balance in stainless steel tanks.
