Great QOR. So fun and lively - easy drinking with good character and depth. Will not blow you away but easily paired with a bunch of food.

Pale coloured but intense and fresh. Really mouthwatering and long. Cherry fruits came through Some attractive bitter elements freshening the finish. Distinctive and delicious.

Very pale colour, Nose: touch of reduction, then marashcino cherry Rich wine, some tannin, ripe fruit, just a little candied, liquorice and cloves, Lots going on here, just a bit sweet and jammy compared with other vintages of this wine.

Burgundy-like nose with hints och charcuteries, sea water and bright red fruits. Transition to palate is smooth despite the funky character. Strawberries and red currant among the fruit notes, but intense rosemary and eucalyptys tones accompanies a rather long finish for this light to medium bodied wine. Will age well for at least the next 5 years and further

100% Hermitake (cinsault) from Swartland. Mainly known as the working horse of South Africa, but in good years, this grape can produce beautiful wines, such as this one ?? Juicy, complex but accessible, good length. Medium intense aromas of red cherry, blackcurrant, raspberry, wet earth, black tea, cigar box, wet iron, bay leaf. Dry wine, medium acidity, medium- and supple tannins, medium body, medium+ flavour intensity, long finish. 12% - €30 @ Vinotheek Pinot
