Fresh, plummy aromas with savoury, smoky notes. The palate is ripe and rich with vibrant fruit, slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and a persistent finish.
Perfect with pork belly dishes or barbecued meats, boerwurst, game or good, old fashioned sausage and mash.
Suitable for vegans.
Suitable for vegetarians.
The grapes for False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage stem from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in
Stellenbosch. The attraction to this mature (planted in 1996), coastal, bush vine vineyard were the
cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. Made by Waterkloof's
talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Balanced grapes are hand harvested, fermented
spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The
resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'. No additions other than sulphur as a
preservative. Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. False Bay - Real Wine,
Coastal Vineyards, Sustainably Farmed, Hand Picked, Naturally Crafted, Wild Ferment, Cask Aged.
