Appellation: Coastal Region, South Africa A lightly oaked wine, vibrant purple/red in color, layered with sweet plum and berry notes. Spicy black fruit and ripe soft tannins play out on the finish. Made in a bright, modern style. Pinotage is a varietal that originated in South Africa, created in 1925 as a hybrid of Pinot Noir and what was originally thought to be Hermitage (thus the derived name Pinotage), but was later discovered to be Cinsaut. The varietal is extensively grown in South Africa, with small amounts in California and New Zealand.

This was nice. Had some spice but also a light finish.
