Backsberg Pinotage's ripe cherry, coffee bean and sweet strawberry flavours are complemented by subtle undertones of dried herbs.  This Pinotage has a juicy mouth-feel with supple, sweet tannins.

The fruity style of this wine makes it lovely on its own as well as an idela accompniment to lamb, spicy food and hearty Italian dishes.
