Spioenkop Pinotage 2018
R436.15
From Bottelary grapes and made as a tribute to mentor Francois Naude, previously of L’Avenir. 20% whole-bunch fermentation and matured for 11 months in French oak, 55% new. A floral top note before red and black fruit, a not unappealing hint of banana loaf and spice. Juicy and fresh with supple tannins – good fruit concentration plus zippy acidity and a nicely savoury, even slightly bitter finish. A very elegant rendition of the variety. Alcohol: 13.34%.

Description
Adventurous winemaking from Elgin! The first and only cool-climate Pinotage to be produced in the area.
A must try!
The wine shows a healthy dark-ruby/purple colour and the bouquet offers, at first, intense terroir flavours of graphite, violets, black olives and dark forest fruit. Later you detect cassis, cinnamon and cloves. The palate also offers leather, red cherry, potpourri and dried apricots. This is an elegant style of Pinotage. In addition to this it’s a medium bodied wine with a nice dense, pure and wonderful acidity. A nice satin texture finishes this wine which can be drunk over the next 10 – 15 years.
