Rocheburg Cinsaut Pinotage 2001

Wine was blended to assure the best of both cultivars. Fruit from the Cinsaut and body from the Pinotage. No evidence of wooding. Ruby purple colour. Fresh, lively sweet fruit aromas. Dry finish with a lingering aftertaste. Enjoy with any meat dishes, pastas, or simply a glass on its own with good friends.
