About this Item

2001 Pinotage
3 (1 x 3) 1500ml

Red wine specialist, boutique cellar on the slopes of the Helderberg mountain in Stellenbosch established by CWG member Jeremy Walker in 1992.

Jeremy specialises in Pinotage and Bordeaux varietals, making wines with a reputation for their long cellaring potential, and one of the few producers to release wines into the market after acquiring essential bottle age of 5 years or more.

As it says on the label - "Handcrafted; Traditional; Unhurried; Classic Red Wines".

Clear, bright ruby colour; primary floral, slightly sweet raspberry aromas together with some oaky, earthy, savoury complexity; a full-bodied, robust red wine with ripe tannins and a long, spicy finish. - Winery notes

Critics Ratings

'Serious-minded version, with some cab — 11% in 01. Gd varietal aromas lead to powerful, sweetly fruity flavours awaiting integration with big dry tannins. Impressive & rather tough mid-2006; few yrs shd do some softening. Like others, fermented in open tanks, then to basket press.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2007, 4*
