Tasting - Indwe Pinotage



Name:  Indwe
Variety:  Pinotage
Region:  N/A
Country:  South Africa
Year:  2013
Price:  $12
Winery review:  A disclaimer I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 2013 from Indwe  named after the country's national bird the blue crane comes across like a Pinor Nior. subtle notes of cherries, spice and forest floor are followed by a round light medium bodied pure seductive well-crafted wine.  (Robert Parker)
Additional winemaker notes:  I did not try this wine with food.  I definitely picked up on the berry-aspect of this wine, as well as orange-peel, oak, and a smokey flavor.  Enjoyed this red wine.
