Darling Cellars Reserve Old Blocks Pinotage 2019

This wine is very expressive and complex on the nose with flavours of red berries, black cherries, vanilla, butterscotch, red plums, coffee and nuances of strawberries. On the palate the flavours follow through with good structure and silky tannins. A well balanced wine with elegance and a lengthy aftertaste.

It could be enjoyed with oxtail, bobotie and lamb curry.
