Mooiplaas Wine Estate's The Bean Coffee Pinotage is a unique and flavorful wine that combines the best of two worlds: coffee and wine. Produced in the Stellenbosch appellation of South Africa, this wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills. The vineyards benefit from a cool maritime climate and well-draining soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in heavily toasted oak barrels, giving the wine a characteristic coffee character. The result is a full-bodied and rich wine with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and unique flavors.
