De Grendel
De Grendel is a Durbanville wine estate where cool-climate vineyards and careful site selection shape a broad range of South African wines. Known for Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and red blends, the estate combines coastal influence, varietal clarity and a strong sense of Cape Town wine country.
Description
The wine is impressively opaque in colour with dark hues of purple and red. An intense blackberry and cherry bouquet is sensuously interlaced with sweet cloves and subtle vanilla oak. The bold fruit and subtle spice aromatics persist on the palate with additional undertones of roasted almonds and trimmed cigar. The palate is broad and rich with soft acidity and abundant, finely textured tannin. This is a luxurious and full flavoured modern wine.
Food Pairing
Pinotage loves meat, especially if it has a a smokey element to it such as barbequed sticky pork ribs. For vegetarians, large brown mushroom steaks topped with aged cheddar will be ideal. Also opt for beef or pork with teriyaki sauce, and enjoy Pinotage with a dark chocolate truffle tart for dessert.
