Delheim Pinotage 2022

On the nose, the wine shows brooding dark fruits of black currants and blackberries with spice notes of nutmeg and cloves. The palate opens up to juicy red and black fruits with a smooth and well-structured medium body. The tannins are silky with a long, dry savory finish with subtle oak notes

Pair with a smoky Gouda.
