Blacksmith Barebones 'Hell Yeah' - Pinotage

This 2020 Pinotage hails from the Paarl region in South Africa. Chef-turned-winemaker Tremayne Smith challenges the idea that Pinotage has to be heavy, tannic, and over - extracted. Naturally fermented with little to no sulfur added, this wine showcases the true depth of the varietal. Its grippy tannins and crunchy fruit notes are complemented by red stone fruit flavors and a hint of clove. As Tremayne says, 'It's a serious wine with a light - hearted feel.'

To enjoy this Pinotage, just pour it into a wine glass and let it breathe for a few minutes. It pairs well with grilled meats and spicy dishes. Keep it stored in a cool, dark place. When you're ready to drink, make sure the wine is at a proper serving temperature. There's no need to worry about any special handling, just savor it like you would any good wine.
