Tasting Notes
outrageously impressive pinotage, luscious ripened cherries surrouded by layers of thick mocha chocolate with a soft hint of violets and spice
Winemaker Comments
These grapes were picked as in the last 2 years from a Nitida block and a block on the opposite farm Maastricht. We grafted one of our Pinotage blocks to sauvignon blanc 2 years ago because we found its eucalyptus character overpowering in the wine and have found this combination of blocks gives us a beautiful harmony of flavours and making the wine very specific to Nitida and instantantly recognisable. We have built up a staunch following for this wine that ensures that the 750 cases we produce each year find very loved homes.
