Diemersdal Pinotage Reserve 2024

A South African Pinotage from Diemersdal, made in the Reserve style and aged for 18 months in French oak barriques. The grapes come from vineyards with an average age of over thirty years. The colour is intense ruby with clear violet reflections. The nose opens with black cherries and ripe plums, followed by spice and tertiary notes of tobacco and cigar box. The palate is properly tannic, warm and well structured, with a long finish. It suits red and white meat dishes, and ostrich fillet with chocolate and chilli sauce makes an unusual match.
