A layered blend showing lovely complexity, with aromas of ripe black fruits underpinned by hints of mocha chocolate, a touch of vanilla and wood spice. Rich and smooth, the black fruit and chocolatey notes envelop fine tannins with great length on the finish.

Red Wine2019 Pinotage ‘1900’, Spioenkop Wines
£2750Add to BasketA fruit-driven style of Pinotage, with a generous array of red cherry, violet, grenadine and strawberry underpinned by freshly picked black plum, graphite, black olives and spice. Elegant and smooth with a stony freshness and a satisfying, satin-textured finish.
The grapes come from the Bottelary Hills ward of Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape. The westerly facing vineyard is located at 300 metres’ elevation and is planted on granite and sandstone soils which offer free-draining properties. The climate is generally hot and dry; however maritime influences from False Bay to the south provide moderating sea-breezes, which help to keep the vineyards healthy and impart balancing freshness to the grapes. Pinotage, South Africa’s signature grape variety, is a crossing between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, (the latter was previously known as Hermitage in South Africa) from which it takes its name.
