DelheimPinotage 2017 (R129.83 Per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

In the mid-1970s, patriarch Spatz Sperling’s far-sightedness led him to buy 80 hectares of prime red-wine land on Klapmutskop, which is situated about 3km’s from Delheim, as the crow flies in a westerly direction. He recognised the growing consumer interest in red wines but also realised that the Delheim farm was too cool to ripen red varieties sufficiently in order to produce quality red wines. On this property, affectionately referred to as “Vera Cruz” or “Delvera”, Cabernet Sauvignon, predominantly grown as bush vines and today aged between 15 and 37 years, thrives in these deep, red soils, as do Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Product Features

• Delheim believes that our medium-bodied Pinotage truly showcases the unique profile of this varietal grown in the Stellenbosch area.
• Rich crimson colour with a lively hue. Juicy, red fruit flavours supported by undertones of perfume and cloves are detected on the nose.
• Cranberry and savoury flavours with hints of rich plum, flesh out the middle palate. 
• A soft and elegant finish, along with subtle oak, results in the perfect balance.
