Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2008

Name: Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2008
Brand: Kaapzicht
SKU: 29409

Saturated plum colour with purply black, opaque heart; focused Pinotage expression with intense layers of brooding black fruit and opulent oak woven into a rich tapestry of flavour; muscular tannins add depth and balance to plush fruit; firm structure and rich texture will evolve beautifully with some 5 - 8 years cellaring.
Elsie Pels - Cape Wine Master

Great partner for game fillet served with plum jelly or dark chocolate torte with berry compote.
