No.7 Pinotage

As expected, the diversity of sites used in the blend contributes to the complexity of the wine. The over-riding impression is youthfulness and vibrancy, which bodes well for the ageing potential of the wine. The wines from Stellenbosch sites add depth of structure and dark fruit overtones to the wine, whereas the Durbanville components contribute elegance and the sweeter red fruit spectrum. The 50% new oak is well-integrated owing to the extended maturation period. The entry on the palate is round and elegant, with good tannin structure to support the abundance of fruit on the palate. Our hope is that our no.7 will showcase the complexity and richness inherent to our proudly South African grape variety.
