Redhill Pinotage - Simonsig

Redhill Pinotage - SimonsigThe Redhill Pinotage Reserve from Simonsig is a powerful, intense and to the point mature specialist with an impressive complexity. This red wine from a very typical South African vine shows a dense, dark red color in the glass. The nose is filled with impressive, multilayered aromas reminiscent of blackberries, marsino cherries, sweet plums and notes of cinnamon and vanilla bean. The palate develops a lush mouthfeel with balsamic cedar notes, a nice spice of oak and ripe fruit flavors. Youthful, masculine yet soft tannins provide a lingering impression with fruit-filled inclusions on the long, dry finish. Food Pairing Suggestions for the Redhill Pinotage Reserve by Simonsig We recommend this wine with hearty spicy dishes such as Cape Malay Bobotie (South African meatloaf), tuna, slow roasted pork belly, oven roasted rack of lamb and crispy duck salad with hazelnut praline, spicy grilled beef. Vinification of the Redhill Pinotage from Simonsig Wine Estate in Stellenbosch The wine was destemmed and pressed and fermented on the skins in 2 open fermenters. After 6 days, the mash was pressed off. Before bottling (for clarification), the wine was racked 4 times to separate the lees and yeasts from the red wine from South Africa.
