Cardouw Pinotage

Veritas 2002 - Bronze
Highly rated by Wine of the Month Club
Highly rated by Dine Magazine
A typical South African wine variety, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut. This is a rich, full-bodied dry red wine. The alcohol, woodiness, fruits and tannis are well blended in this wine. The wine has a rich plum bouquet which is well sustained by an abundance of fruitiness on both the nose and palate.
