Featuring notes recalling Bazooka bubblegum, strawberry, red cherry, roasted red bell peppers, and potting soil, this wine is both fun and an oddball. The Winery of Good Hope de-stems their Pinotage and puts the whole berries in stainless steel tanks where they undergo intracellular fermentation. It is carbonic maceration without the stems. The resulting wine is quite nice. A lighter body and all of the flavors you read above. Add a little chill, and this is a great wine on a warmer day.
