Description
In a nutshell:
Rich fruit and spice, this is a modern, easy-drinking style of Pinotage from Swartland that is definitely worth a try!
The lowdown:
The Swartland region north of Cape Town, even as recent as the 1990s, was seen as a bit of a backwater for winemaking, that was until Charles Beck realising the potential of this area started Spice Route in 1998, and today Swartland is one of the most exciting and dynamic regions in South Africa with a host of top producers, of which Spice Route Winery sits among. The grapes for the Pinotage come from a single block of dry farmed bush vines growing in Koffieklip soils (decomposed granite from the Paardeberg Mountain), which produces elegant reds with a robust structure.
Pinotage can have a bit of a mixed reputation, though this fine example is smooth, rich and fruity and is definitely worth a look by all. Intense ruby in colour with rich blackcurrant and cherry aromas leading onto a rich and smooth palate with mellow tannins and notes of dry spice and sweet vanilla oak notes.
When to drink:
Perfect with spicy Indian dishes or a well matured steak.
Suitable for Vegans
