Kaapzicht Skraalhans Pinotage 2021

Skraalhans is a gangly weed found in our vineyards, often growing taller than the Bush vines themselves. Our hands-off approach has allowed the vineyards to shine through, giving the wine a profound sense of place. This new, vibrant version of Pinotage is bright, fresh and elegant.

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