Lovely on its own. Dark cherry finish.

Julian rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Not bad

This coffee-styled Pinotage comes from none other than the originator of the style, Bertus Fourie. Deeply coloured, and laden with rich dark-roasted coffee, mocha and blackberry aromas and flavours, with vanilla throughout. The coffee character is achieved through additional toasting of the barrels, resulting in attractive and unique intensified flavours. Enjoyable on its own.

Pinotage

Pinotage is the name of both the red wine and the grape grown and made mostly in South Africa. The Pinotage grape was originally bred in 1925 from a cross between the grapes pinot noir and cinsaut. Well-made Pinotages are medium- to full-bodied wines, with rich red fruit aromas and flavors. Poor versions often have a rubbery aroma. This wine pairs well with hearty meat dishes.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
