Pinotage 2018 - Kanonkop

The Pinotage is a vine originating from South Africa, born in 1925 from a singular cross between Pinot Noir and Hermitage (or Cinsaut). The father of Pinotage was Abraham Izak Perold, a university professor and winemaker who sought the best resistance to the dry summers of the Western Cape region in South Africa.

Ruby red wine with violet reflections.

On the nose this South African Pinotage is wonderfully aromatic, with aromas of Red currant, macerated sour cherries e cinnamon spices. On the palate it shows a silky tannin structure, supported by a subtle acidity. The nuances of vanilla integrate with the red fruit, wild berries, plums e more. An elegant and complex Pinotage, with persistent flavors of juicy and ripe plums on the finish.

Expected evolution: this Pinotage will give its best up to 15 years after bottling.

Pairings at the table: Perfect with duck, game, Lamb and dishes of the Asian cuisine. 

Alcohol content: 14.5%
