When Pinotage is grown on the foothills of the Breedekloof (Broad Valley) the soil gives the wine a distinct red cherry aroma. By fermenting the wine slowly and at cool temperatures we create a soft, almost creamy mouth feel and lots of cherry, ripe plum with hints of chocolate and a tiny mocha zing on the finish – very balanced and morish.
Pinotage goes surprisingly well with sushi. Try it. Thai food is a natural partner as is barbequed meats, particularly game.
