Intense, vivid translucent youthful purple-ruby appearance. On the palate there are very pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry with red cherry and musk flavours coupled with fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse. Very fine lacy, almost powdery tannin on the finish.

Ideally served at 16°-18°C. White and red meats, Parma ham, grilled line fish, Tuna, wild mushrooms and traditional cheeses.

This wine, classic in style, was grown and produced on the historic Meerlust Estate which has been owned by the Myburgh family for eight generations.  It will complement fine food and benefit from further ageing.

Inspired by Painted Wolves' stamina, persistence and teamwork, our pack or "peolon" ventures out on cycling safaris through the African bush that raise funds for the conservation of African Wild Dogs (Painted Wolves), and other endangered carnivores.

Taking your tastes buds on this wine adventure helps to secure the future of these rare and beautiful creatures.  We make a donation to the Endangered Wildlife Trust for each bottle sold, to support their wild dog projects in Africa.

Peloton Rouge is a brooding rich and spicy "cape blend" of Shiraz, Pinotage, Grenache, Mourvedre and Viognier with a long velvety finish.  

Exceptional cassis and cloves, with a touch of dried herb and vanilla aromas.  The palate deligths with elegant flavours of blueberries and cherries followed by well-structured and firm tannins.
