Reviews of Ken Forrester Petit Pinotage 2019
- Juicy and accessible with a soft palate and delicious fruit concentration.
- Can be served with a generous slice of pizza or a barbeque or a 'braai' as our South African friends would call it.
- 100% Pinotage.
Intense ruby red. Especially noticeable smoky aromas in this Ken Forrester. It was light but tastes like blackberries.
I didn't pair it with anything.
