Durbanville Hills
The unique location of Durbanville Hills’ cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold. Although the Durbanville area is renowned for its SAUVIGNON BLANC that excels under the cool conditions where it is grown mostly on the cool south-facing slopes, the range of RED WINES also benefit from the warmer valley outskirts and opposing northern slopes.
Description
This medium-bodied Pinotage presents a vibrant ruby hue. The nose reveals prominent aromas of ripe red plums, dark cherries, and mulberries, complemented by subtle hints of oriental spice and juniper berries. On the palate, it offers succulent strawberry flavors intertwined with dark, ripe cherries and oriental spice. The wine is well-balanced, featuring an elegant, smooth tannin structure.
Food Pairing
This Pinotage pairs exceptionally well with dishes such as pork belly, lamb ribs, coq au vin, and mild vegan curries. Additionally, it complements desserts like dark chocolate cherry and Turkish delight, enhancing the wine's rich fruit notes.
