Rijks Touch Pinotage 2022

A dense, full-fruited and powerful wine, the bouquet is loaded with ripe, brambly berry and plum aromas that are hit with complementary notes of black pepper and a touch of cocoa powder. The palate is plush and decadent, with superb balance between the supple yet structured tannins, ample acidity and bold black-fruit flavours.
