Bon Courage Pinotage

This Bon Courage Pinotage is made from the eponymous South African unique grape variety Pinotage. The whole grapes ferment in rotating tanks and then macerate for an additional 2 days. After fermentation, half of the grape skins are removed, and the mixture is pumped into barrels to continue fermenting. This is followed by a maturation of 12 to 15 months in French oak.

Once in the glass, the wine reveals a complex bouquet of aromas of ripe banana, mulberry, and plum. On the palate, it offers a smooth, full-bodied wine with a velvety soft mouthfeel and silky tannins.

This Pinotage pairs well with hearty meat dishes, roasts, and grilled meats with a sweet barbecue sauce. It is also a true delight to drink with lightly spiced dishes.
