Marula, Pinotage, Western Cape, South Africa - 2014

SOA104_XXLarge
Taste

A rustic wine with Pinot Noir sensibilities. The nose and palate are redolent of black plum, blackberry and smoke followed by a bit of orange peel and coffee. Mouthfeel is supple and lip-smacking, wonderfully long finish.

Varietal

100% Pinotage

Region

Western Cape, South Africa

Winemaking

Two days cold soaking, followed by tradition-al maceration. Wine was aged on French oak staves for 12 months to impart an accessible, balanced wine with fruit-enhanced tannins.

    LOVE this wine. Very rich tasting but not heavy, not bitter. Would be a nice bottle to bring to a friend's for dinner or to a BYOB.
