Diemersdal Pinotage Reserve

Description

South Africa’s most famous home-grown grape variety has been suited to the Durbanville area for decades, the cool coastal climate bringing a ream of fresh complexity to this famous red wine. This is one of Diemersdal’s stalwart red wines that represents a cherished part of the Louw family’s wine-making heritage.

Winemaker’s notes:

Full bodied with dark berry and plum flavours and well balanced with complex aromas from French Oak barrels.  A wine with a long lingering finish.
