2020 Lievland Vineyards Pinotage Paarl, South Africa

This Pinotage shows vibrant aromas of cherry & raspberry notes, with a hint of cedar and vanilla from the oak maturation. 4% Grenache adds vibrancy & complexity to the blend. The Pinotage grapes come from a 25-year-old dry-farmed bush-vine vineyard. The soils are rich in granite which tends to play a crucial role in creating a rich texture in the wine. The vineyard is quite highly elevated & the wind naturally keeps the crop low.
