Named after the mining term for the end product after it has been mined and refined. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, this Pinotage had to be nurtured to perfection. South African at heart and modern in style with 13.5% alcohol content, this wine goes well with pasta’s, hearty dishes, friends and relatives and will do so until the end of 2016. Our favourite is to pair it with a rich oxtail stew – preferably made by my Hermann.
