Flagstone Winery
Flagstone is a winemaker-driven wine business, rather than a marketing-led business. This means we first do what is right for the grapes and the wine and only then worry about how to sell the gorgeous stuff. More than most, we are totally committed to making honest, real wine that is an authentic reflection of its provenance, even if this means taking the hard path. We believe that this is the only sustainable, honourable way. Take time to discover our wines – We are all born creative. We have been sourcing grapes from our five core vineyards since 2003. Viticultural strategies are specifically tailored to individual varieties and vineyard parameters. The natural environment in which the vines grow and bear fruit play a huge role in the style and quality of the resultant wine and we go to great lengths to study and know everything we can about that environment. This includes careful soil analysis and an on-going study of climate parameters.
Description
The 2020 Flagstone Truth Tree Pinotage displays a bright ruby red color. The bouquet offers up-front dark berries with dark chocolate and subtle spicy undertones. On the palate, it is surprisingly rich and beautifully balanced, featuring flavors of darker blackberry and cherry with hints of dark chocolate and spicy oak.
Food Pairing
Pinotage is an incredibly versatile wine, pairing well across a broad spectrum of dishes from oysters to game to spicy Middle Eastern cuisine. It particularly complements slow-cooked duck drizzled with a pomegranate and cardamom gravy, served with potatoes roasted in duck dripping and a green salad of bitter leaves.
