If you've read any of my previous wine review blog posts you will know that we buy a lot of wine from budget friendly supermarket Lidl. This wine was another Lidl £3.99 bargain.
Pinotage is a native grape of South Africa, which was created in 1925, it's a cross between Cinsaut and Pinot Noir.
Cambalala Pinotage Shiraz 2013 is a soft wine full of rich ripe dark fruit; juicy blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, with an aroma of cocoa, cinnamon, and vanilla which lingers on the palate. Delicious!
From the bottle label -
Pinotage is South Africa's most famous red wine. Teamed up here with the powerhouse grape of both the old and new worlds, Shiraz, it makes for a wine of tremendous depth and excitement. Jammy, ripe blackberry, bramble and raspberry jostle for attention on the palate; the wine finishes long with hints of
vanilla and cocoa. A superb consort for grilled steaks, roasts and creamy cheeses.
Mmm, writing that last sentence means that now I fancy some creamy cheese. Hahaha!
Have you tried Cambalala Pinotage Shiraz 2013? Did you enjoy it?
