Cape-Style Red Blends Mixed Case

“Traildust is thicker than blood” – Louis L’Amour. This wine is an acknowledgement of every person who has been involved in the Pinotage journey, from vineyard to glass. L’Amour describes the Traildust created on the roads travelled and relationships formed as lifelong companions, perhaps closer than family. These friendships share a mutual respect for Pinotage, as well as the people involved in its creation and those who strive to grow his cultivar. Ruby red. Abundance of red fruit and cherries aromas combines well with hints of sweet oak. Generous amount of sweet fruit, cherries and plum. A well-balanced wine with a juicy middle and soft well-rounded tannins. This Cape Blend is a tribute to the legacy of Pinotage by uniting this unique South African cultivar with its heritage, Pinot noir and Cinsaut.

The wine is velvet red in colour. On the nose,c there is a burst of brambleberry and dark cherry with touches of vanilla and pencil shavings. The palate has a pleasant freshness to it that carries the fruit for a lingering finish. The wine has a medium structure with rounded tannins.
