Fairview barrel aged pinotage 2016

Barrel aged - as in well cared for and nurtured - this is a stonking pinotage.uillermo swartland pinotage 2013

Guillermo Swartland pinotage 2013


At around a tenner a bottle this is liquid delight, sweet and sticky on the nose with that lovely blend of boiling jam with a hint of musty earth.


There's a great structure and body in this one - it leaves "legs" trailing down the glass that a kilted shot-putter at a highland games would be proud of.


On the palate it just keeps on giving with waves of flavours to enjoy, underlining its initial hints of stewed fruit with bursts of strawberry and raspberry, not the sort of pale imitation of a strawberry/raspberry that you get at the discount end of the supermarket fruit aisle but a home-grown one.


It's a real belter - grab a bottle and try it.
