Lindsay's Whimsy 2003

Pinotage being one of the best performers in 2003, we have included more of it into this Cape Blend. A wine to be enjoyed with friends and/or a hearty meal. This wine boasts aromas of vanilla, raspberry, red cherry, mulberry, plum and herbal notes. A soft entry with a firm mid-palate and flavours such as black current and plums.
