Tasting notes:
Ashton Winery Winemakers Reserve Pinotage. The grapes for this exquisite wine are hand-picked and gently basket-pressed to achieve a soft, intense mouthfeel. This Pinotage has great depth of colour and a complex nose of ripe, dark fruit with a hint of vanilla.
Food match:
Enjoy it with good company and a rich oxtail or other meat and veg dishes. It is also a fine accompaniment to canapes and cheese.
Producer/Region: Ashton Winery Winemakers Reserve Pinotage
In the heart of the Robertson Valley in the Cape Winelands, travelling on the world’s longest wine route, you’ll come across Ashton Winery.
Here, between the gently-flowing Breede River and the foothills of the Langeberg, the environment is perfect for producing quality wines that people simply love.
The climate is unique. So are the soil varieties. And their viticultural practices have been perfected over many generations, yielding harvests of consistently high quality. Some of the vineyards from which they source have implemented organic practices – farming with nature to release more soil nutrients for example – and the results are amazing.
