Wine By Nine

Red Wine by Warwick Estate from South Africa. This wine has a plum garnet color with a complexity of fruits on the nose. A lively Pinotage sweetness balanced by careful wood ageing, plenty of ripe fruit and a spicy finish. The wine is big, yet accessible and should age well for 3-5 years.

Red Wine by Fairview from South Africa. Winemakers Tasting Notes: Pinotage is mostly harvested from bush vines, some of which are over 25 years old. This is supplemented by a small amount of fruit from a younger trellised vineyard at Fairview. The vineyards are at three sites, Malmesbury and Agter Paarl with their dry farmed vineyards on deep soils and the Paarl fruit grown on sandy soils. Colour: Vibrant purple red. Aroma: Spicy dark fruit flavours. Palate: Savoury, with ripe soft tannins and opulent fruit. Cellaring: The wine is drinking well now, but should improve over the next few years. Wine Analysis: Alcohol 14.38% Residual Sugar 2.2 g/l Total Acidity 5.6 g/l pH 3.66

Red Wine by MAN Vintners from South Africa. Blend: 90% Pinotage, 10% Shiraz Pinotage is South Africa's indigenous grape varietal, a genetic cross between Cinsaut and Pinot Noir. It's a unique grape that produces rustic, simple, and appealing reds. It's the perfect match for South African cuisine which is primarily meat based. It's especially good with braai- the South African outdoor barbeque often including antelope, deer, lamb, sausages, and beef. Not all that different from the American backyard BBQ. This is an approachable, easy drinking Pinotage. Some can be a bit too rustic and spicy but this one leans fruitier and was a hit amongst Wine.com employees. It's bold and juicy with red-berry fruit flavors and a touch of sweet oak spice. The South Africans claim it's the only wine for eel and the perfect complement to a steaming bowl of 'roo stew. We also suggest trying it with BBQ, grilled meats, chili and stews.
