Cape Blends >30% Pinotage (if wine contains more Shiraz than Pinotage, please enter it in Class 27)

Tasting Notes - Dark ripe fruit and spicy on the nose well supported by the integrated wood components. On the palate a medley of ripe plum, dark berries and cedar bring the wine together with the velvety tannins. The scented cigar tones lingering in the empty glass tells you to enjoy another one. In the Cellar - All components harvested separately at optimum phenolic ripeness. The 225L wooden barrels top heads were removed and the must fermented inside the wooden barrels. Regular punch downs were done 6 to 8 times per day. Spontaneous fermentation occurred. After fermentation, the wine was racked and the wine aged inside the same barrels for 19 months. French and Hungarian oak were used.

Would be perfect with a nice steak or curry.
