Tim Atkin
Powerful aromas of plums, blackberries, licorice and tar on the nose of this Estate Pinotage 2020, with layers of smoke, roasted nuts and vanilla. Plenty of plum, cherry and black fig notes on the palate, with hints of dark chocolate, blackberry and spicy oak. Full-bodied, creamy tannins are beautifully integrated with satisfying acidity for a long finish. This wonderfully balanced wine is the perfect accompaniment to beef flank steak!
