59 - De Grendel Amandelboord Pinotage - Cape of Good Hope, South Africa

Grape Varietals: 100% Pinotage

Wine Description: This single-vineyard Pinotage comes from De Grendel's Amandelboord block in the cool, windswept Durbanville region. The vineyard's altitude, clay-rich soils and proximity to the Atlantic create a long, even ripening season, producing Pinotage with both depth and elegance. De Grendel's long family heritage is reflected in this wine's careful craftsmanship, showing a style that emphasizes purity of fruit, subtle earthiness and refined structure.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of cherry tobacco, plum and warm spices open into flavors of sour cherry, cocoa, cedar and roasted almond. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, elegant tannins.

Suggested Food Pairings: Pairs beautifully with barbecued ribs, game dishes, mushroom steaks or dark chocolate desserts.

Serving & Cellaring: Enjoy at 16-18°C. Suitable for drinking now and over the next 3-5 years.
