Purchase this wine online from australia's leading wine online store.
They call it..."The people's Pinotage" Diemersfontein's flag carrier is the chocolate coffee pinotage !"The Original" ! It has a wonderful rich coffee, smokey overtones on the nose - and yet the preservation of voluptuous fruit on the palate, along with spicey, cinnamon and chocolatey notes on the palate.
Since we developed it first in 2001, as a new and original style, it has taken wine lovers throughout the world (and we must say ourselves as well ) by surprise and by storm ...
It is praised for its easy accessibility, its uniqueness, its wonderful rich coffee, smokey overtones on the nose - and yet the preservation of voluptuous fruit on the palate, along with spicey, cinnamon and chocolatey notes on the palate.
It is vivacious, versatile and velvety. Makes you sit up and smile at the company you are with. It can be paired with a range of different foods - from curries, to game meats, to dark chocolate desserts.
It appeals to new drinkers who have not, until then, been red wine enthusiasts - they find it an easy introduction to the world of red wine - a true midwife to drinking pleasure.
And many are the people who have said to us "you have shown us for the first time how wonderful Pinotage can be" . And yet many experienced wine drinkers choose it for being different, out of the ordinary, challenging convention. Because of its controversial different style - it raises strong feelings - some people feel the need to criticise it quite heavily - we don't mind that - but VERY few just ignore it ! Its very different from its sibling the more classic Carpe Diem Pinotage which has won the SA Red Wine Trophy at the International Wine Challenge - Owner David Sonnenberg comments : "I feel like the parent of two teenage daughters - one is a classically trained violinist who dresses modestly and pulls the crowds in the exclusive concert halls; the other , a mini-skirted and occasionally provocative pop star who wows the younger generation but has fans of all ages".
This wine has its own fanclub - it inspires loyalty, passion - and dare we say it - some seriously committed regular imbibers !!
Fine example of great South African Pinotage wines
