Natalie's Score: 90/100

This supple South African red wine features coffee espresso on the nose and palate from the toasty oak aging. Lovely smoky richness and layering of dark fruit flavours. Looking for a breakfast wine? Okay, maybe not. But if you love espresso and coffee wafting from your glass, give this wine a try. This South African Pinotage is one of the Bertus 'Starbucks' Fourie coffee style wines. This wine is Certified for Integrity & Sustainability by the South African Wine and Spirit Board. Some black raspberry and mocha on the finish. Great price. Pair with (what else?) coffee-rubbed steak.

Pinotage food pairings: biscotti, blackened lamb burgers, smoked cheese, braised beef in a Porter reduction.

Reviews and Ratings

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Intense aromas of coffee, chocolate and ripe black fruit. Black cherry, cassis and espresso flavours with warm, medium long finish. Soft tannins with oaky notes of warm spice and toffee. Wonderful example of a South African Pinotage.

This full-bodied South African red wine is Certified for Integrity & Sustainability by the South African Wine and Spirit Board. Finishes with aromas of coffee, smoke and espresso. - Community Wine Reviews
