Pinotage Flagship Mixed Case

Dark ruby colour with red berry and plummy fruitiness with vanilla, oak and spice. Full body on the palate with smooth, robust tannins.

The first red wine released by Simonsig in 1970 was a Pinotage, a cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsaut first developed by Professor A.I. Perold in 1925. The aim of this Pinotage is to accentuate the raspberry fruitiness of the Pinotage grape. Our best Pinotage is grown on weathered shale soils which makes deliciously perfumed Pinotage. The vivacious Pinotage with its rhubarb red colour showcases vibrant sweet cherry and strawberry compote on the nose. The palate further displays depth of fruit with layers of cherry and plum, followed by a light dust of cinnamon. Good concentration and structure is exquisitely finished with juicy, polished tannins.

An elegant reference of Stellenbosch Pinotage, the L'Avenir Provenance Pinotage is medium-bodied exhibiting a fine balance between fruit & spiciness, with a smooth and refine texture. Attractive notes of cherries and mulberries complemented by the sweet spiciness that is typical to Pinotage.
