‘Founders’ Pinotage

TASTING NOTES

This soft easy drinking wine with its fresh black and red berries, has hints vanilla and cloves on the nose. Oozing with red berries, black spice and well-rounded tannins on the palate, it is balanced with a lingering finish…

PAIRING

Pair with tomato based dishes such as pasta or pizza and a great choice with barbequed meats
