Goue Vallei Pinotage

Swiss International Air Lines Awards 2004 - Seal of Approval
Swiss Air 2003 - Bronze

A typical South African wine variety, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut with intense fruity flavours. 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. Enjoy with red meat.
