Squared because of the use of 2 types of 'Pinots', but to the second power stands also for doubling the pleasure. Beautiful light ruby red color. The fruity yet subtle attack is followed by a nice complexity thanks to the addition of the Pinotage. A long and balanced finish with soft tannins crowns the whole.
Excellent with steak or robust, full-flavoured beef and venison dishes.

An overall continental climate, significantly colder however than most other areas at 34 degrees south of the equator, caused by the direct presence of the 'cooler' Atlantic and 'warmer' Indian Ocean.

Deep, rocky terrace.

74% Pinot noir was supplemented with the national pride, namely Pinotage. After a classic vinification, the wine is still aged on 20% new French oak, 60% second year and 20% third year for 9 months.
