Ken Forrester Petit Pinotage (South Africa)

Tasting notes classic pinotage aromas of spicy mulberries plum pudding and cherries supported by smoky bacon nuances. Juicy and accessible with soft palate and delicious fruit concentration. Food suggestions this cheerfully unwooded wine can be served with a generous slice of pizza or a barbeque ideal for a ‘braai’. Perfect with almost any happy casual occasion! In the vineyard aspect: southeast-facing slopes about the harvest 100% pinotage harvested fully ripe at 25º balling from blocks specifically selected for their fruity character. Yield: 9 tons per hectare in the cellar cool fermented after a cold maceration on the skins and pressed off early before the development of hard tannins. This cheerfully petit pinotage reflects the modern fruit driven wine style that is in huge demand today. – ken forrester
