Is Pinotage a good wine?
Tasting profile
A rich, robust Pinotage showing cassis fruit and herbal notes, with a big malbec-like body balanced by fine, silky tannins and an integrated finish. Free of the burnt-rubber character that can mar the style, it pairs well with grilled red meat and game and ages gracefully over many years.

What reviewers say
“Absolutely Superb. Intense Even after 15 years . I enjoyed it with venison. Cost well above average for a South African wine at about 100 USD but well worth it.”
