Cathedral Cellar Kwv Pinotage 2014

Western Cape W.O., South Africa

Cathedral Cellar Kwv Pinotage 2014

Savoury notes of bacon, fleshy black cherry and vanilla smoke. It’s got a velvet texture with a dry medium-full-bodied weight and flavours of cocoa, coffee, and blackberry jam with a dark spiced finish. If you don't know Pinotage as a grape very well, start with this wine. It's South Africa's flagship grape the way California has Zinfandel. Smoky oak weaves it way through the wine. Lovely! Pair with: grilled lamb steaks.
