The JJ Handmade wines range forms part of a special boutique range of wines under the Stellenrust estate label, with the focus on making wines in the age-old French methods with no machinery involved in production – hence the name 'handmade wine' - an exclusive trademark to Stellenrust. The name Picalot refers to the blend: 'Pi' for 42% Pinotage, 'ca' for 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and the 'lot' for 27% Merlot.
This wine offers summer sun and ripe berries and cherries on the nose – the palate shows milky spice, rich plum with cedar and tobacco space. Long finish of succulent ripe fruit.
This Picalot will complement North Indian Curries or other spicy dishes well; the Pinotage evident enough to balance strong food flavours.
