BARISTA BLACK
A Pinotage that expresses the richness of its past with the brightness of its future.
100% Icon. 100% Pinotage.
WINEMAKER’S NOTE
Grapes were sourced from the best vineyards in the Western Cape. The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel & concrete tanks with two gentle pump-overs daily. It was then matured in oak for 16 months with 20% of the wine aged in first-fill French barriques.
TASTING NOTE
Plums, cherries, and mulberries on the nose with hints of warm baking spices. The palate has a juicy fruit core a good concentration with velvety tannins and some oak complexity. The finish is long, smooth, and pleasantly dry.
FOOD PAIRING
This full-bodied wine partners well with darkly braised lamb shoulder on long grain rice with red cabbage & bacon kimchi or seared duck breast & mixed baby leave salad with potato stack.
