Swartland Winemakers' Collection Pinotage 2013

Colour: Intense ruby red colour.
Bouquet: Lots of ripe cherries and red berry flavours on the nose.
Palate: A lovely fruity Pinotage with hints of brambles and strawberries. This Pinotage is medium to full bodied and well balanced on the palate with a lingering plum aftertaste.

Enjoy with light red meat dishes like seared steak or grilled lamb skewers with bacon and rosemary seasoning.

Final blends are made prior to bottling to give the final product the best flavour, colour, taste and complexity.
