Lammershoek Pinodoux 2005

This is a Port-style wine made from Pinotage wine. The wine is fortified with three year old pot still brandy and sweetened using natural grape concentrate. It is then transferred to 225 litre old French oak barrels for 40 months maturation. On the nose the wine shows rich fresh plum fruit aromas. On the palate there is red currant fruit which carries through from start to finish along with firm well integrated tannins which will allow the wine to age well. The wine has an ageing potential of up to 10 years. Pair with a rich chocolate dessert.

Bottled in 375 ml bottles.

Pair with ripe cheeses or riche chocolate desserts.
