Meerendal Heritage Block Pinotage Old

$69.99

Meerendal Wine Estate is a family-owned vineyard situated in the Western Cape of South Africa, only 20 minutes from Cape Town. This historic estate dates back to 1702, but the wine journey for the current owners, the Coertze family, began in 2004 when they invested in Meerendal and became part of its prestigious history. Heritage Block Pinotage has a very deep, almost opaque purple colour. Spicy red and black fruit aromas are supported by strong bramble-type characters on the initial nose. Prune, plum and ripe dark cherry follow with a backing of rich fruit cake, spice and sweet vanilla. There's a big, full, and well-rounded mouth-feel with a satiny texture that flows across the palate, with ripe, supple tannins underneath. It's already showing good complexity, but has lots more development to come. Very attractive now, but will repay some patient bottle maturation over the next half dozen years. If Meerendal history is anything to go by, this wine should continue to develop for easily 12 to 15 years.
