The key to this blend is balance. The Cabernet gives it typical blackberry, currant and herbal notes. The Pinotage gives it the undeniable smoky character made famous by South Africa’s native varietal. Rich and full-bodied. Holds its own next to fire-grilled meats.
Of note: The Cabernet and Pinotage grapes were crushed and fermented separately. Winemaker Andries Blake then tasted the final wines and settled on a rich blend of 64% Cabernet and 36% Pinotage for this well-balanced vintage.
