Tasting Notes
Wine style
Sweet | 1 2 3 4 5| Dry
Light | 1 2 3 4 5 | Full bodied
Colour
Bright ruby red colour.
Bouquet
Up-front dark berries with dark chocolate and subtle spicy undertones.
Palate
The palate is surprisingly rich and beautifully balanced. Flavours of darker blackberry and cherry with hints of dark chocolate and spicy oak.
Food
Pinotage is an incredible wine, because it is versatile enough to pair across a huge spectrum of dishes from oysters to game to spicy Middle Eastern cuisine. In fact, like Dragon Tree, it loves spices and even chillies. It is gorgeous with slow-cooked duck drizzled with a pomegranate and cardamom gravy and served with potatoes roasted in duck dripping as well as a green salad of bitter leaves.
