Longridge Winery Pinotage 2023

Voluptuous and evolved wine with a deep, earthy character. The nuances of cranberry, sour cherry, and wild strawberry are even by whispers of chocolate and oak, whereas a slightly bitter finale lingers.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, smooth color. The nose is influenced by by leather, plums, and suggestions of warm spices, with a gentle nutmeg undertone. The sensation is well-balanced, with a refined touch and a rewarding mid-palate. The tannins are well-integrated, adding strength and composition to the wine. The tail is long and lingering, with a mild cigar and dried fruit note lingering on the palate.

Pinotage with a robust history, this wine has been aged for 13 months in 58% new oak, with 5% American and 45% French. The result is a rich and delicate experience, with a soft sweetness and a wisp of spice on the nose. The mouthfeel is well-balanced, with plum and pepper spice whispers that linger on the finish. The oak tannins add substance and complexity, making this a superb option for those who appreciate a well-crafted wine.
