Treat itmeanly and Pinotage will show its angry side. Through its clarity and purity of fruit, its lithe texture and its absence of any kind of aggression. It is not a monster; it is a soul with a heart and one which will repay kindness with abundant generosity of its own. This Pinotage is full of intrigue and complexity, unlike usual Pinotage that you tasted before. The clarity and purity of the fruit makes the wine soft and nicely textured without any kind of aggression. It has abundant generosity and sensation to offer in the glass. Broody black fruit at first that opens with attractive flora/dried violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, red cherry and pomeagranate-tinged entry. The acidity is nicely judged and the tannins very fine, exuding harmony towards the slightly tarry finish.
