Simonsig
2018 Simonsig Redhill Pinotage
Red Wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa
Tasting
There is an exotic mix of wild berries of the forest and plums with clove spice. Bold flavors of freshly cut strawberries and blackcurrant flow over the palate with silky tannins. A full-bodied Pinotage with great intensity and a lingering dry finish. It shows lots of power, but has an elegance to it that will benefit from further time in the bottle.
