Dark ruby colour with red berry and plummy fruitiness with vanilla, oak and spice. Full body on the palate with smooth, robust tannins.
There was not enough maiden vintage (1992) Pinotage to fill our stainless steel tank – so we filled the tank with Cabernet Sauvignon (8%). So started the Grangehurst “recipe” of blending between 8% and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon with our Pinotage. The Cabernet provides an interesting dimension of fruit, tannin and additional acidity – which contribute to the complexity and balance of Grangehurst Pinotage.
