A cross between Pinot noir and Hermitage developed in 1925, this uniquely South African wine is celebrated worldwide for the distinctively rich ruby color, bold aromatics of dark chocolate, stewed fruit and spice. The Ernst Gouws & Co Pinotage offers juicy plum and cherry fruit carried by silky tannins over a backing of integrated oak. The wine has good length and can be enjoyed with rich meaty stews, grills or roasts - or simply on its own.
