Just Released!
This special treat arrived in an unlabelled bottle far before the release date set for the upcoming holiday season. That didn't sway me though as I dove into what I considered a curiosity, a new release wine made from the hybrid South African grape - a varietal that we hear less and less of from SA each year.
The Inniskillin Pinotage surprised me with its juiciness, it's blueberry cream, violets, milk chocolate and vanilla aromas. And, it had me coming back for more of its fresh berry and coffee flavours with mouth-watering acidity and smooth texture.
I strongly suggest you track some down to go with your holiday dinners - turkey, lamb or salmon or creamy cheeses.
