Cape Atlantic Pinotage 2011

A medium-bodied wine. It has rich, smoky and dark fruit flavours with sweet plums tones, couched in oak. When tasting it, expect a fresh and smooth texture with supple tannins.

The wine is all ready accessible and believe it or not, a good curry or spicy food partner. Serve slightly chilled when combining with curry dishes.
