Fabulous private reserve Pinotage from the 2013 vintage. A hidden barrel, it's only just been released after black frost wiped out much of the 2017 vintage. Packed with black cherry and plum fruit with a spicy vanilla edge from four years in cask.

The Wine
Frost in the Breedekloof Valley is almost unheard of. So on 16th October 2016 the family slept peacefully in their beds, while out in the vineyard nature was wreaking havoc. Frost, the worse in a generation, descended on the vines and the whole vintage was wiped out in just hours. The family took solace in the cellars, and rediscovered a few barrels of Pinotage they sensibly put aside in bountiful years for emergencies like this. The wine was from the magnificent 2013 vintage and, with all its rich, bramble fruit, spice cake and toasty oak, it was obviously well worth putting aside. Named after the devastating black frost that struck, this wine has seductive richness and power. Enjoy with warming winter dishes or at your next barbecue.
