Lievland Vineyards Bushvine Pinotage 2022

Elegant and understated Pinotage experience, highlighting the nuances of this varietal. A balanced blend of 9% Cinsault and 3% Shiraz, aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months. The result is a rich, full-bodied wine with a opaque red hue, elevated by subtle undertones of tobacco and vanilla. The taste is featured by a opaque fruit-driven profile, with a smooth, smooth touch and a rewarding leather finish. A truly impressive wine, crafted from un-irrigated bush vines in the Paarl area, and aged in an underground cellar for 12 months.

Deep and mellow wine with a deep, fruity profile, featuring flavors of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and red fruit, alongside subtle flavors of cocoa and milk chocolate. A gentle structure of black pepper adds depth, even as oak and vanilla contribute to a smooth, creamy texture. The wine's balance of tannins and brightness makes it a delightful, pleasant choice for those exploring a wine with a subtle, rich character.

Luscious and full-bodied wine with a deep, gentle texture, its colour is a dense ruby with a mild light edge. The nose is characterised by a fruity bouquet, with nuances of red fruit, cherry, blueberry, and a nuance of oak. The tasting is a vibrant explosion of fruit, with plum, berries, and black pepper adding complexity and complexity. The tanginess is racy and refreshing, but the trail is short but satisfying. Overall, a wine that is both drinkable and refined, with a delightful evenness of flavours. A stonking top pick for those chasing a decadent and pleasing wine.
