Groot Phesantekraal Pinotage 2023

Vibrant red-purple hue in the glass with aromas of nutmeg, star anise cinnamon and subtle smoky undertones. On the palate a burst of mulberry and Maraschino cherry which interlaces beautifully with the sweet spice. Subtle smokiness and balanced acidity to a lingering finish.

The velvety tannin structure combined with flavours of sour cherry and a savoury finish promotes spicy dishes such as Asian infused Pork stir-fry, Harissa lamb, chili con carne, slow roasted Cajun short rib. The key is balance, and our Pinotage certainly knows how to complement your favourite spicy dishes
