Taste Profile: This wine displays a vibrant crimson red colour. A wonderful dark berry perfume with subtle notes of liquorice and sweet spice fills the glass. On the palate you pick up raspberry, black cherry and strawberry compote. A zippy acidity and soft well rounded tannins make sure that this is a very quaffable wine.

Grape: 100% Pinotage.

Tasting Tips: Decant, enjoy with hearty pastas and sundried tomato stew. Alternatively, its lovely with meats and mature cheeses.

Winemaking: The first red wine released by Simonsig in 1970 was a Pinotage, a cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsaut first developed by Professor A.I. Perold in 1925. The aim of this Pinotage is to accentuate the raspberry fruitiness of the Pinotage grape. Their best Pinotage is grown on weathered shale soils which makes deliciously perfumed Pinotage.
