Eikendal Pinotage 2008

This wine seductive and elegant, with great finesse. The nose is full of berry, plum, cherry and chocolate flavours. The palate shows sophisticated oak integration with a supple en lingering finish. A wine made with passion and creativity and the immense attention to detail.

Enjoy with Venison dishes such as springbok Carpaccio, oxtail stews and flourless chocolate and berry tart.
