Description
What kind of wine it is
Cape Dream Pinotage is a still, dry red wine that expresses the authenticity of this renowned South African grape variety. To the eye, it displays a deep ruby colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it reveals notes of ripe red fruits, strawberry and spices, combined with elegant hints of wood. On the palate, it offers a rounded sip, characterised by soft, silky tannins. Very pleasant for its fruity profile when young, it develops a broad and enveloping flavour with cellar ageing.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the Western Cape, South Africa's most renowned wine region for Pinotage cultivation. The Cape Dream brand enhances the pedoclimatic characteristics of this area, translating the peculiarities of the land into a vibrant colour and a deep structure. The strong territorial identity is expressed through a dry and complex sip, typical of red wines from this specific geographical area.
How it is produced
The winemaking process aims to enhance the pure expression of Pinotage grapes. Ageing in barrels is a fundamental step to enrich the body of the wine, imparting a moderate oak note that integrates perfectly with the varietal freshness. The final result stands out for its balance between good acidity and slight residual sugars. Decanting for about an hour beforehand further elevates its aromatic complexity at the time of serving.
