Lanzerac Pionier Pintage

Notes - Lanzerac has for centuries been a true icon of the South African winelands. Since joining the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative (BWI) in 2006 the Lanzerac Estate has been busy in its quest to leave the earth in a better state than what we found it. The Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage is a tribute to the world's first bottled Pinotage - a 1959 Lanzerac Pinotage. The wine spent 18 months in barrel after which 3 barrels was hand-picked and blended. The 2004 Pionier possesses an excellent deep colour, with typical varietal aromas like ripe, plumy red fruits on the nose. A big mouth-feel, complex palate with earthy tones and a long and lingering aftertaste rounds of this wine. With five to ten years' maturation it will start to acquire the velvet density and luxurious chocolate and caramel flavours for which it's predecessors is known.
