Drakenskloof Pinotage 2019
Rich damson with exotic notes of smoke, earth, coffee bean and liquorice. No other grape produces flavours quite like Pinotage. From the award winning Spier estate, this barrel matured red is a fine introduction to South Africa’s national grape.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
