Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve 2007

Name: Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve 2007
Brand: Beyerskloof
SKU: 19543

A full bodied Pinotage with a deep purple colour. The perfumed berry and plum flavours are well balanced with complex aromas from new French oak, hints of fynbos. A wine with powerfull yet elegant tannins and a very subtle yet well structured acidity. A long, lingering finish.

A must with venison and game and especially red meats.
