Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2012

Sweet spice, freshly picked red plums, black cherries and cola are supported by aromatic toasted coconut and milk chocolate from the youthful oak. The bright cored palate

shows elegance and freshness, but retains the characteristic fine grained, polished tannin structure that

is accessible and mouth-watering now, but will also develop further complexity with bottle age.

Yield: < 5 t/ha from unirrigated bush vines Matured for 24 months in new French oak

Alc: 14.14% TA: 5.9 g/lRS: 2.9 g/l pH: 3.6
