Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage 2009

Colour:  Deep ruby red.

Bouquet:  Intense sweet plum and black cherry fruit with nice spicy cedar aromas from the oak.

Tasting Notes:  Abundance of fruit on the first taste with well integrated oak flavours at the end. A wine with big structure, intense fruit, great balance and a pleasant mocha finish. This big Pinotage will keep well in the bottle for 15 years and pairs lovely with game dishes that include Kudu, Springbok or Oryx.
