Flagstone Writer's Block Pinotage is a high-quality South African wine that boasts rich, smooth flavours. With a deep ruby hue, this wine's aroma is a medley of red berries, plums and dark chocolate, underscored by a subtle hint of smoky oak. Each sip delivers a plush palate that is boldly fruit-forward, balanced by a lingering spicy finish. The plump tannins make it perfect for pairing with hearty meats. A product of single-vineyard grapes, the Writer's Block Pinotage showcases Flagstone's dedication to expressing the unique terroir of South Africa in each bottle.

Tasting Notes

Intense aromas of wild blueberry and ripe cherry are supported by smoky, spicy undertones. On the palate, blackberry and plum flavours shine through, complemented by the subtle toasty oak.
