Tim Atkin
Pretty deep plum on the nose of this Kadette Pinotage 2020, with secondary aromas of red currants, black cherries, candied strawberries, nutmeg and wood spices. Medium-bodied and opulent, the palate offers finely textured tannins and aromas of red pellet candy, bright cherries and a hint of nutmeg, wood spice and dark chocolate. The acidity is in harmony with the fruity and woody components, and adds a burst of freshness to the red and black fruit aromas on the finish. Gourmet finesse!

A fine discovery at a reasonable price. The wine is both elegant and powerful, chosen to accompany Chakalaka (South Africa's topical dish).
