ABSA Top 10 Pinotage 2011

Stellenbosch Region

In 1988 one of the Cape's most foremost wine makers, Beyers Truter of Kanonkop Estate formed a partnership with four ardent wine lovers in Johannesburg with one ideal in mind: To produce a wine of exceptional character. After exploring the Cape Winelands for a suitable location they found a perfectly situated farm in the Koelenhof area within the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin region. A full bodied Pinotage with a deep red colour. The dark berry and plum flavours are well balanced with complex aromas from new French. A wine with a long finish that could last in the bottle for 10 years and more.
