With time on their side, the gnarly old bush vines of the Warwick Pinotage ameliorate Stellenbosch. Further tempering the prosperity and conservation of this burgeoning wine region, the Ratcliffes work with the World Wildlife Fund and the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative. Norma Ratcliffe also sturdied the local economy by becoming the first female winemaker of South Africa. The wine has a ruby red hue in the glass. The nose shows red cherry, cedar wood and dark chocolate aromas. The palate is full round with ripe subtle tannins.
