Roodekrantz Wines
Roodekrantz Wines is a South African producer focused on careful vineyard selection, sustainable grower relationships and fruit-led winemaking. With access to certified old-vine blocks and a restrained approach to oak, the range highlights Chenin Blanc and other South African wines shaped by vineyard character rather than heavy cellar influence.
Description
Captivating, perfumed scents of red berries, red plums and a touch of spice, complemented by delicate oak nuances. On the palate, the wine shows good balance between the fruit, acidity and oak, with plush flavours or red cherries and plums. The sweet-fruited character of Pinotage comes to the fore on the finish, followed by a lingering smoky undertone.
Food Pairing
The bold fruitiness and smoky undertones pair exceptionally well with the rich, gamey flavours of venison, while the red berry and cherry notes complement duck with a sweet cherry sauce. Pinotage's spice and dark fruit nuances will enhance the savoury and aromatic qualities of a traditional Cape Malay Bobotie.
