Product Notes
Many folk may not know that, in the 1970s, South Africa produced world famous red blends comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault, which combined the finesse of Cinsault with the power of Cab. The Pitch Black blend is our #retro tribute to this Golden Age.
If there was a “renaissance man” wine in our range, this would be it. It carries all the dark, brooding ripe fruit of classic barrel-aged Stellenbosch Bordeaux, combined with a delightfully progressive component of whole-bunch, tank-fermented C. The Cinsault adds a layer of clean, bright, juicy berry fruit, over the otherwise quite weighty affair. Ready to enjoy now, but will continue to develop well over the next decade.
