Meinert, Pinotage, 2008

After graduating in Viticulture and Oenology from the University of Stellenbosch as one of its top students in 1984, Martin became one of the leading lights behind the now world famous wine of Vergelegen. Since 1997 he has concentrated his energies and skill on his family's Devon Crest vineyard in Stellenbosch's Devon Valley and also making wine for his friend Ken Forrester. The approach is very terroir based, and committed to getting the best out of his grape varieties.
Very good value for money, and a great food wine. Loads of fruitiness; cassis, blackberry and mulberry. A hint of spice is also discernible. None of the typical tarry, smoky aromas that you often find in cheaper styles.
