The intention is to present Pinotage in a more approachable, energetic style that highlights freshness alongside structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1146\"\u003eDeep ruby with a youthful, vibrant rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1318\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003eBright red fruit leads - strawberry, cherry and red plum - with subtle hints of spice and a faint earthy undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1318\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eMedium-bodied with fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins.
