Totally coffee-espresso on the nose and palate of this pinotage, and unapologetically so. Weirdly wonderful: end your day with the alcoholic version of your morning coffee. Full-bodied and smooth red wine with some black fruit flavours as well. The coffee-style pinotage has become popular among South African winemakers. Produced by Mooiplaas Wines, this red wine is robust, rugged and full of character. Try it with gourmet hamburgers or meat lovers' pizza.

Pinotage food pairings: coffee-rubbed beef, grilled peppercorn steak, meat topped pizza, quail, gourmet hamburgers.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The red wine for a coffee addict! On the nose - lots of coffee, mocha, with a hint of toffee, with much of the same on the palate with some bitter chocolate and dark berries coming through. Full bodied and simply delicious!! Perfect with a bowl of chili.

South African is becoming known for its coffee-aroma Pinotage red wines, the coffee, espresso notes come from both the toasting and type of French oak barrels used to mature the wines, and then Pinotage absorbs the oak nuances and creates the coffee flavours. Pinotage, often called the flagship red wine grape of South Africa, is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Produced by Mooiplaas Wines.
