Pinotage

It's all about the grape yes? Every week we are going to analyze a grape we sell bottled. We would also like to challenge our community to share your tasting notes with us based upon the latest bottles you've tasted. We will kick it off with an iconic South African Grape which you either love or hate... there will be no compromis I believe but maybe i'm wrong. A Pinotage comes in many forms from many wineries that's obvious but I always smell and experience the same characteristics. It good old glass of Pinotage brings at least black fruit flavours, although younger wines can showcase a lovely red berry hint. Older vines produce vino that's incredibly rich, spicy and savoury in flavour, resulting in complex flavours of tobacco, smoke, leather and lashings of liquorice!
