Lievland Vineyards, Pinotage
Made in an elegant and traditional style, this Pinotage shows vibrant fruity notes of fresh cherry, and raspberry, with a hint of vanilla given by the oak aging. The palate exhibits savory tannins with ample fruit and a lingering finish. A small addition of Cinsault enhances the aromas and adds to the elegance of this delicate Pinotage. This wine can be enjoyed with traditional South African dishes such as roasted Karoo lamb or Springbok pie, or even served slightly chilled with Cape Malay curried fish.
