Simonsig Redhill Pinotage 2016

The dense opaque colour holds rich flavours of black fruit and sweet plum, with a lavish mouthfeel encrusted with cedar oak spice. Smooth tannins sculpt a lingering palate of fruit-filled pockets.

Cape Malay bobotie, seared tuna, slow roasted belly of pork, oven roasted rack of lamb, crispy duck salad with hazel praline.

AWARDS
2019 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - Silver
2019 Absa Top 10 Pinotage Awards

ageing : The gentle tannins provide the structure to age further for 6 to 8 years after vintage.

A full-bodied, wood-matured wine from a dedicated vineyard site that counts among the most awarded Pinotages in South Africa.

in the vineyard : Warmer weather in August resulted in earlier bud break, after which a warm, dry, windy summer accelerated ripening by approximately two weeks. The dry weather also led to a very healthy vintage. The healthy vineyards delivered grapes with beautiful layers of fruit and we are very excited about the results of the 2015 vintage.
