Golden Kaan Pinotage 2005

Pinotage is the quintessential South African grape. A rare find indeed! A distinctive ruby-red appearance loaded with plum and raspberries. Wood tannins are well-integrated and friendly. An excellent example of this unique South African grape.

Enjoy with pork and lightly curried dishes or just sip with friends.
