Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Pinotage 2012

A rich, though fresh climate Pinotage with great structure and depth. Multi layered complexity with red fruits and dark plums combined with serious French oak ageing for 24 months. Big and elegant.

Any type of steaks, but great with sweeter pepper sauces. It's a wine that could be enjoyed with anything. Because its so great, it can make any meal taste great.
