Ken Forrester Petit Pinotage 2021 (750ml)

Ken Forrester's 2021 Petit Pinotage comes from Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. Pinotage is South Africa's signature red varietal, and this is the estate's entry-level expression of it, approachable and ready to drink now.

The wine opens with aromas of sweet red fruit layered with soft spice. On the palate it's medium-bodied with good brightness and a spicy character that carries through to a finish marked by crunchy red fruit, the kind of texture that keeps you reaching for the next sip. This is a wine that drinks well young, with enough vitality and structure to pair easily with food or stand alone.
