The palate is full-bodied and rich with ripe tannins and a balanced acidity that adds freshness. The finish is long-lasting with notes of dark fruit and subtle smoky undertones from the barrel aging.

Production : This wine is made entirely from Pinotage grapes and has been matured in oak barrels, adding complexity and depth to the taste. The 2017 vintage was particularly favourable for wine production in South Africa, which is reflected in the concentration and balance of the wine.
