WINE DESCRIPTION

Lanzerac Pinotage is a premium red wine produced by Lanzerac Wine Estate, a renowned winery located in the Stellenbosch appellation of South Africa. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Jonkershoek Valley, where the grapes benefit from the cool maritime breezes and the rich soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Pinotage grape, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Lanzerac Pinotage is a classic example of South African winemaking at its best. The nose offers aromas of ripe dark fruit, cherries, and a hint of earthiness.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with a pleasant balance of ripe tannins and juicy acidity. The flavors are of dark fruit, blackberry, licorice, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of smokiness. Enjoy this Pinotage with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or savory dishes.
