About this wine

No. 7 blends Pinotage from seven distinct Cape sites, including Durbanville, Stellenbosch Bottelary, Jonkershoek, Simonsberg and Papegaaiberg, all vinified to highlight depth and complexity. The wine shows a near-inky colour and aromas of boysenberry, plum, baked black cherry, dark chocolate, mocha, spice and floral notes. Ageing around 18 months in barrels (about half new) lends structure and savoury complexity. This is an unapologetically ambitious Pinotage, crafted for both immediate impact and long cellar life.

Tasting Note

Critics notea ripe, round palate with dark stewed fruit, cigar smoke, baking spice and firm tannins, plus hints of blackberry jam and molasses on the finish.

In the glass

Very deep, almost inky ruby-purple.

In the nose

Boysenberry, plum and black cherry, with violet, lavender, dark chocolate, mocha, spice and a touch of smoke.

On the palate

Full-bodied and concentrated, with rich dark fruit, powerful but refined tannins, good freshness and a long, chocolate- and spice-echoing finish.
