Product information "Groot Constantia Pinotage 2017"
The Groot Constantia Pinotage is a lush and immensely full-bodied Pinotage with a deep purple-red hue in the glass. Its multi-layered and complex bouquet of red cherries, ripe strawberries and juicy plums dominates the nose, with the masterful use of oak wood adding sweet vanilla as well as subtle cedar wood aromas. The ripe red fruit aromas and sweet vanilla carry through to the palate, paired with a dash of fresh acidity, which gives the wine elegance and ends brilliantly in a soft and subtly spicy finish. The ripe tannins promise a great ageing potential.
