WINE DESCRIPTION

Tormentoso Bush Vine Pinotage, part of the premium range crafted by the MAN Family Wines team, pays homage to the historic Cabo Tormentoso, the original European name for the Cape of Good Hope. Inspired by medieval map depictions of sea monsters, Tormentoso's label draws from the mosaic map at the Monument for the Discoveries in Lisbon. This Pinotage, donning an opaque blood-red hue, unveils a lively bouquet of red berries and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, it showcases a structured foundation with densely packed blackberry and cherry flavors, culminating in a polished finish with rounded spicy oak nuances.
