This 2020 Kadette Pinotage has a lovely deep plum nose, with secondary aromas of red currants, black cherries, candied strawberries, nutmeg, and wood spices. Medium-bodied and opulent, the palate offers finely textured tannins and aromas of red candy, bright cherries and a hint of nutmeg, wood spices and dark chocolate. The acidity is in harmony with the fruity and woody components, adding a burst of freshness to the red and black fruit aromas on the finish. A delicious wine full of finesse!
