WINE DESCRIPTION

Ken Forrester Petit Pinotage is a red wine produced by Ken Forrester, a renowned winemaker from Stellenbosch, South Africa. The wine is made from Pinotage grapes grown in the region's unique terroir, which features a combination of granite and clay soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, fruit-forward red with notes of black cherry, plum, and spice. Its smooth tannins and balanced acidity make it a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews.
