R400,00

This limited release wine demonstrates the distinctive vineyard site and produces an elegant, medium-bodied and well-structured pinotage that has been described as one of the best examples of the variety in the world. Deep dark colour. This wine shows notes of dark plum and black berries with herbal notes of thyme lingering in the background. Black fruit enters the palate with freshness flowing into fine, chalky tannins on the mid palate.
