An expansive nose shows wild lavender, both red and black fruit, and a hint of tar. Well integrated oaking on this stylish Pinotage. Big and bold palate lifted by a spine of bright acidity that allows freshness on the lengthy finish. Filigree, durable structure will allow for long, rewarded ageing for up to 10 years comfortably.
2021 The Legend Pinotage
R350.00 | Club R315.00
The wine is a blend of only the best selected Pinotage from different barrels, all made and matured in new small French oak for 18 months. The wine has well rounded ripe tannins that retain the natural flavour of Pinotage and will perfectly complement any meat dish.
Tasting Notes
