About This Wine:

20% of a blending component called Mocha.

The flavors of this unique South African grape varietal are complex and exciting with ripe plum and fruitcake all beautifully integrated and then finished with subtle oak for a lingering aftertaste.

Lovely with rare beef, barbequed lamb and casseroles. This versatile lighter style of Pinotage is also a lovely combination with spicy chicken.

About this producer:

Riebeek Cellars was established in 1941 and is situated in Riebeek Kasteel at the foot of Bothma's Kloof Pass. This medium-sized winery on the western coast of the Cape Province of South Africa sources its grapes from the fertile Riebeek Valley and the slopes of the mountain where the climate is very similar to the Mediterranean. Through the years as vineyard practices developed, cultivars were planted in soil and at slopes best suited to them. These well-tended vineyards enable the production of high quality wines which makes Riebeek Cellars the choice of wine buyers internationally. Well-known both in South Africa and abroad, Riebeek Cellars manages a variety of brands for various countries.

"Best Buy" - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Dark berries and a touch of woody spice lead the way on the nose of this friendly Pinotage. As you settle in to the velvety texture, sultry tannins wrap around your tongue and mingle with the juicy plum and peppery spice flavors. Ready to drink now."  — L.B.  (11/1/2011)
