Delheim Pinotage 2015

Bright crimson and purple hues. Juicy, refreshing and perfumed with notes of clove and Asian spices and well-integrated oak. Dark berry and savoury flavours flesh out the middle palate. Soft and elegant on the finish, displaying great balance and subtle oak undertones. A modern, delicate and lighter style of Pinotage.
