The Wine
Pinotage is instantly recognisable, with its distinctive, spicy coffee aroma and sumptuous, rich berry flavours. A cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, it was first bred in South Africa in 1925 and was originally referred to as Hermitage. The French were not happy with a name that could so easily be confused with a northern Rhône classic, so it became Pinotage – and a much loved varietal in its own right. The Grinder is a textbook example of a top quality Pinotage. The grapes were picked at the last possible minute for optimum ripeness (and that lovely velvety texture) from three premium vineyard sites. But the first thing you’ll notice is the wonderful roast mocha coffee bean aroma. Perfect with char-grilled spare ribs and roast lamb.
"Very smooth, long finish, excellent flavour. This is outstanding value for money. Recommend"
