Forge Mill Pinotage, Coastal Region
Ref. 0459
Classic fruit-filled South African Pinotage from vineyards to the north of Cape Town, this is juicy and full of jammy fruit. This wine, from a uniquely South African grape, offers brambly fruit and nice wood intregration. The palate is packed with soft juicy dark and red berry fruit and tannins provide a long lingering finish. Softly styled, try with grilled meats and venison and goes well with curry also.

- Other info: The town of Franshhoek derives its name from the French Huguenot families who were allocated farms in the Oliphantshoek (Elephants Corner) valley in about 1690. Some of these Huguenots were experienced viticulturists and established the tradition of wine making in the valley. Franschhoek Vineyards was founded in 1945 by a group of local grape farmers to vinify their grapes on a co-operative basis. In 2008 Franschhoek Vineyards was bought by Douglas Green Bellingham.
