Blue Owl Pinotage - Allee Bleue | Franschhoek Valley, Western Cape
Varietal/Blend: 100% Pinotage
Tasting Notes: Abundant strawberry and ripe cherry flavours with subtle hints of chocolate, licorice, and coffee. The smooth, soft palate delivers beautiful berry fruit that lingers elegantly, supported by a refined tannin structure that creates perfect balance and accessibility.
Body: Medium to Full (13.5% ABV)
Food Pairings: A perfect companion for a juicy lamb roast with baby vegetables or fresh pasta at your favourite Italian restaurant. Equally delightful on its own for a casual evening's enjoyment.
Winemaker Notes: Sourced from pristine Franschhoek Valley vineyards, the grapes undergo careful cold-soaking at 7°C for 3 days, followed by intensive punchdowns and early pressing to ensure a supple, smooth profile. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures on staves for 12 months, resulting in an authentic expression of South Africa's signature grape variety that will continue to develop nicely over the next 2-3 years.
