Spioenkop Elgin Pinotage 2020

Sourced from a combination of old and young vines on rocky shale soils, this is Elgin’s best Pinotage. Aged in a surprisingly high 80% new wood, it’s a racy, cool climate expression of the grape, with tangy red cherry and raspberry fruit, stony intensity, whole bunch spices and a hint of good reduction. Beautifully judged. Drink date: 2022-2028. Score – 95. (timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2021)
