You heard right — sparkling Pinotage — and not from South Africa to boot. This vintage (yes, there have been others) gets it right, with a slightly off-dry style coming across fresh and lively, with peach and strawberry flavors that linger through a zesty finish. I like it! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
