This fabulous Pinotage is one of the best we have tasted, including examples that cost considerably more. The Pinotage vine is Pinot Noir crossed with Cinsault, and this wine shows its lineage clearly, with the attractive hedgerow fruit of Pinot Noir, seasoned with Cinsault's liquorice and star anise spice notes. Caressing the palate with seductive silky softness, it is a succulent wine with beautiful balance and no hard edges. By taking meticulous care of the fruit from picking all the way through the winemaking process, Meinert ensures that we get to experience this variety's truly delicious character. The Printer's Ink name is a tribute to the Meinert family's heritage as master printers in Namibia.

Winemaking
