Whalehaven Pinotage

This deep-hued red from South Africa opens with bright cranberry and pomegranate, before revealing a whisper of wild fynbos, that unmistakable signature of the Cape’s rugged landscape. On the palate, it unfolds with deliberate grace: notes of blackberry compote, aniseed and liquorice segue into brooding cocoa, finishing with a touch of spice and sandalwood that lingers. It’s a wine as comfortable beside a fire-charred steak as it is commanding attention on its own.
