Simonsig Redhill Pinotage 2008
tasting notes
Dense opaque colour with black centre and a youthful cerise rim. The perfumed nose invites you to a playground filled with the aromas of mulberry and raspberry fruit suggested by serious, but subtle, spicy oak. Mid palate fruit shows delicious density and persistence in a framework of fine grained tannins which indicates great ageing potential.

ageing potential
The gentle tannins provide the structure to age further for 6 to 8 years after vintage.

blend information
100% Pinotage

food suggestions
Rare roast beef and ostrich stew. A perfect combination for venison.
