Reserve

2009 Robertson Pinotage

The Rooiberg Reserve 2009 Pinotage from the Robertson region is a delightful red wine that embodies the essence of its terroir. With a full-bodied profile, it offers a beautiful balance of flavors that captivates the palate. The acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the wine. Fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of chocolate that harmonize perfectly. The tannins are well-structured yet smooth, providing a pleasing grip without overwhelming the sensory experience. As a dry wine, it invites food pairings wonderfully, making it a great choice for a hearty meal or a cozy evening. This wine not only reflects the unique character of Pinotage but also stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the Rooiberg winery.
