Colour: Deep Garnet.Aroma: Rich red cherry and raspberry dominates the initial impression, with a subtle earthy undertone and hints of straw that adds complexity to the nose.Palate: The red cherry on the nose gives way to a riper black cherry on the palate, with subtle spice and a marshmallow character that creates a sublime mouth feel that is truly enjoyable. This wine has fine, grainy tannins, a well-rounded structure and a vibrant, yet elegant finish.
Donkiesbaai on the West Coast of South Africa has been the vacation home to the Engelbrecht family for four generations. The grapes for this wine come from the highest block of Pinot Noir in the country. The unique climate, high on the Witzenberg, produces characteristics that contribute to the style and elegance of this wine. I cannot think of a better way to complete the Donkiesbaai story than with a glass of elegant Donkiesbaai Pinot Noir.
