Spier Pinotage Signature 2021

Classic South African Pinotage with a medium weight and a nicely rounded body.

Pinotage is South Africa's home grown grape variety and, in good hands like here, makes excellent wines. After fermentation in stainless steel 20% of the wine was matured in French oak barrels for 8 to 10 months with the remainder in stainless steel. The result is a wine with generous flavours reminiscent of sweet cherries and summer berries. There's a touch of smoke and smooth spice held together with attractively smooth tannins which lead to nicely long finish.

An easy going Pinotage, but with enough oomph to pair well with pork, lamb chops, or burgers from the barbie.
