Description:
Pinotage is a South African variety which is a hybrid of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. The first vines were planted here in 1996 and a further half acre was planted in 1997. This is a great example of a Pinotage albeit a bit far from it’s homeland. The nose is full of rich, jammy red and black berry fruit. A full bodied wine that is drinking well now but will continue to improve with age. This is the only Pinotage produced in Canada.
