Pinotage

Pinotage is South Africa’s signature grape variety, created in 1925 through a crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsault and is hardly grown anywhere else in the world. Known for producing deeply colored wines with full body and bold fruit character, Pinotage can express flavors ranging from red and black berries, purple florals, spice, and subtle earthy notes. We are proud to offer this exclusive varietal with the Violet Vines touch.

The wine dances through aromatic layers of dark fruit and violet petals. On the palate there are notes of sweet, high-toned Violet blossom, fresh blackberry, bramble, black cherry, red plum, charred wood and game. Supple tannins and texture complete the smooth finish.
