Pinotage, 2020, Stellenbosch, Kanonkop Estate

From one of the best Pinotage vintages in the best decade, this prize-winning wine, was made from grapes picked from bush vines up to 60 years old.  Intense purple hues. The nose is beautifully aromatic, with scented aromas of red currants, macerated cherries and cinnamon spice. The palate displays a silky tannin structure, backed by a fine seam of acidity. Subtle vanilla undertones from the integrated oak profile are juxtaposed against a fruit explosion of wild bramble, plums and black berries. An elegant wine with lingering flavours of juicy, dark plums on the finish. Drinking nicely now but can be cellared for up to 10 years.
