Wellington Duke Pinotage 750ml

The DUKE range of wines pays homage to the namesake of the town of Wellington, which was established in 1840 and named in honour of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, renowned soldier, and who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. As a general, he was famous for his stunning defensive skills, and his battle plans are still studied in military academies today. Wellesley later served twice as British prime minister.

TASTING NOTES
Bright ruby-red colour, with upfront aromas of black cherry, mulberry, plum, banana, clove and mocha on the nose. The sweet-fruited nature of Pinotage is fully expressed via flavours of ripe plums, raspberries and sweet red cherries. Integrated tannins, oak spice and a fresh acidity completes this well-balanced wine.
