Enticing ruby red colour. On the nose a wonderful, balancing of ripe, red and black fruit with a hint of mocha, underpinned by a bewitching hint of brambles. The palate is surprisingly rich, beautifully balanced and elegant rather than robust. Flavours of ripe strawberry and rasberry. A really long and juicy finish so typical of Silkbush Reds. Aging potential 10 years +
Pinotage is an incredible wine, because it is versatile enough to pair across a huge spectrum of dishes from oysters to game to spicy Middle Eastern cuisine. In fact, it loves spices and even chillies. It is gorgeous with slow-cooked duck drizzled with a pomegranate and cardamom gravy and served with potatoes roasted in duck dripping as well as a green salad of bitter leaves. It’s also an absolute winner with a rare fillet of kudu or gemsbok, a marbled beef steak or your favourite cheese.
