WINE DESCRIPTION

The Winery of Good Hope Full Berry Pinotage from Radford Dale features a vibrant, unwooded style, bursting with fruity aromas of black cherries, juicy plums, and wild dark fruits. These aromas carry through to the palate, complementing a smooth texture and softly integrated tannins, culminating in a deliciously spicy finish. This young, juicy red wine comes from vines that are already 20 years old. The grapes for this fresh and fruity Pinotage were destemmed upon arrival at the winery, keeping the berries entirely intact. The "Full Berry Fermentation" occurred spontaneously, utilizing only the natural yeasts present on the fruit and in the environment, minimizing skin contact.
