Deep red in colour with a purple rim. Raspberry, cherry and plumbs prominently take centre stage, backed by warm spices and earthy tones. The nose follows well onto the pallet, which is complimented by tight and linear tannins that allow the wine to be aged for at least 15 years. A balanced acidity aids the longevity of this full bodied and bold Pinotage.

It was expected at this early stage that the 2019 grape crop will return to normal levels thanks to good rainfall hot on the heels of a three year-long drought. The size and quality of the 2019 grape crop was further influenced by weather conditions in the flowering period leading up to harvest, together with the vineyards’ ability to recover from the drought. We experienced good cold conditions during the winter and rainfall was higher than previous year. Spring has set in earlier, and the vines initially started to bud earlier than normal. In September, temperature fluctuations delayed vine growth however, and in certain cultivars resulted in late and uneven bud burst. By the end of September, temperatures rose again with subsequent good vine growth.
