Country: South Africa / Simonsberg-Stellenbosch
Variety: Pinotage
Winery: Kanonkop / Estate Wine
This classic, iconic Pinotage opens with dense aromas of pressed purple violets, forest berries, raspberry sauce and fudge brownie. The lush and decadent palate offers more of the same, with a crushed velvet texture and final notes of licorice and toasted spice that linger long. It’s delicious now, but should hold well through 2022.
