Kaapzicht Pinotage 2019

Name: Kaapzicht Pinotage 2019
Brand: Kaapzicht
SKU: 47801

Dark deep depth of black plum with an opulent, slightly reductive nose of black cherry, mulberry and stewed plum. Texturally there is impressive focus, balanced finesse and a classy, cool, elegant mouthfeel punctuated with soft supple black fruits and oak spice. This is an impressive expression of this uniquely South African variety.

Delicious served with barbecued ostrich steaks or springbok fillet from the braai.
