Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Pinotage 2021

Full, rich dark fruit, complex nose. Intense blackcurrant, dark fruit and plum flavours with delightful hints of dark chocolate. Toasty oak, generous but already well integrated tannins, and light spice add really nice complexity. Lingering, delicious fruity finish.

Great paired with red meat, venison, duck and spicy foods.
