Description
:An expansive nose shows wild lavender, both red and black fruit, and a hint of tar. Well integrated oaking on this stylish Pinotage. Big and bold palate lifted by a spine of bright acidity that allows freshness on the lengthy finish. Filigree, durable structure will allow for long, rewarded ageing for up to 10 years comfortably.
