Jonathan’s Ridge

R530.00

Due to small size berries and long maceration on skins this wine has a more intense and more complex aroma profile. It is rich, full bodied with attractive black and red berry aromas, subtle oak spice, and sweet nuances of caramel.
The specific Single Vineyard vines are (almost) constantly exposed to strong and cool winds from the Atlantic Ocean. The top soil is shallow, with deep, soft limestone rocks in which most of the roots is established and draws minerals from.

This is a gorgeous, single-vineyard pinotage with aromas and flavors of crushed blackberries and plums. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and an intense and very rich finish. It goes on for minutes with spice and earth undertones. An opulent yet fresh example of this. Drink or hold.

Dark purple red with violet hue and black core. Opulent nose with distinct fruit, blackberries, black cherries, stewed plums, hints of liquorice and violets. On the palate excellent balance, ripe tannins with good structure, freshness, well expressed fruit and fine gingerbread spices. A wine with power, yet elegant with great precision and very good potential for future ageing.
