A medium to full bodied Pinotage with a deep red colour. A good structured Pinotage with plum and purple berry flavours, and a long aftertaste. A wine that can be enjoued now or age in the bottle for 3 – 5 years. In summer to go with seafood or light meat dishes.

Grape Variety	100% Pinotage
Climate	The summer once again had a long growth period to effect. Daily temperatures were above normal as well as more wind. As result smaller and concentrated berries were harvested therefore the wine has intense colour and flavour. Good rainfall and cool weather during the winter season established good underground water table levels. In general a good season for reds, with intense colour and flavour.
