Vintage Cellar TASTINGS: Indwe Pinotage


















Name: Indwe 

Category: Pinotage 

Region Coastal South Africa 

Year: 2015

Price: $12

Winery Review:A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this Pinotage from Indwe, named after the country's national bird, the blue crane, comes across like a light Pinot Noir. Subtle notes of cherries, spice and forest floor are followed by a round, light to medium-bodied, pure, seductive, well-crafted wine that should drink well for a year or so.”
 

My Review: This wine had a very strong alcoholic smell to it which I did not like. It had slight smokey and spicy flavors to it but it was also pretty berry flavored at the same time. It left an aftertaste which was not very appealing.
