Product Notes

The Darling Cellars Old Blocks Pinotage Reserve is a distinct wine hailing from the Western Cape of South Africa. This ruby-hued concoction presents a complex bouquet of rich, ripe fruits, underscored by smoky undertones. On the palate, it unfolds with robust flavours of blackberry and plum, enlivened by hints of spice, oak and vanilla. Delicately structured, yet profoundly full bodied, this noble Pinotage showcases an impressive balance of acidity and tannins, coupled with a long, lingering finish. A finely crafted masterpiece to behold, this reserve wine commands respect, charming connoisseurs with its sophisticated elegance.

Tasting Notes

This wine is very expressive and complex on the nose with flavours of red berries, black cherries, vanilla, butterscotch, red plums, coffee and nuances of strawberries. On the palate the flavours follow through with good structure and silky tannins. A well balanced wine with elegance and a lengthy aftertaste.
