Product Details

Pinotage

"Red berry fruits, plum and banana shine through on the palate. Our Plato V Pinotage drinks well on its own and will pair well with red and white meats, pasta and cheese."

“Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the gods to man." Plato
The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato, born c. 428 BC, was a great lover of wine. Amongst his teachings sit 5 Constitutional Regimes - Oligarchy, Aristocracy, Tyranny, Democracy & Timocracy - all current themes today.

Following an excellent fairly drawn out vintage which provided for complex fruit, the grapes were hand picked at different stages, destemmed and crushed - then fermented at 18-28 degrees in separate batches prior to being blended post fermantation. A minor treatment with oak (staves) for added complexity.

Tasting Notes

Good aromatics from the Pinotage's red fruit, a tasty mix of berries and cherries. The palate displays a fresh and fruity succulence of berry fruits with hints of oak and good acidity.
