Flagstone Writers Block Pinotage 2019
Our Writer’s Block Pinotage is crafted from a single vineyard block high in the Waaihoek Mountains, above the sweeping Breedekloof valley, an hour and a half’s drive north of Cape Town. This is the highest vineyard in the area, planted in ancient, decomposed granitic soil. We believe we’ve found an exceptional vineyard block for Writer’s Block. Everything about this site is special: the combination of soil, slope, climate, aspect and grape variety works brilliantly.
We are inspired by our country, our people and our winelands. That’s why we give our wines special names. South Africa is a unique place to grow grapes for wine – different soil types and the soaring mountains surrounding the vineyards create astounding complexity, sometimes so overwhelming you get stumped. Like an author embracing the challenge of difficult subject matter, we’ve utilised this complexity to unlock majestic wine!
Tasting Notes
Palate: The palate is surprisingly rich, beautifully balanced and gives the impression of being elegant and powerful at the same time. Flavours of very ripe strawberry, cherry and darker blackberry are wrapped up in soft, comforting oak hints and a caress of vanilla and dark chocolate. Really long and luscious.
