Vriesenhof Enthopio 2004

Since the arrival of the French Huguenots in the Cape more than three hundred years ago, many a man has endeavored to make a wine under the African sky, that truly captivates the uniqueness and diversity of our soils and seasons. Enthopio 2004 is part of this historic quest and the journey for individual quality continues. The name means indigenous in Greek and was given because of the substantial amount of Pinotage in the blend.
