Dark purple in the glass. Smoky notes with intense dark berry aromas, framed by oak spice. Fleshy dark fruit continue on the palate with firm tannins and lingering flavours of spice and dark coffee. Medium bodied with well balanced fruit acidity.
The good winter and mild summer made for perfect vintage conditions in 2010. Luckily we were able to pick the Pinotage before the extended heat wave and harvested under reasonably mild conditions. An extra week on the vine, gave the wine riper tannins and excellent structure. -Anthony de Jager
