93pts James Suckling

Plums, currants, wet stones and violets on the nose. Medium body with finely grained tannins. Delicious core of berries and a velvety texture. Elegant and refined with a subtle touch of succulent sour cherries lifting the finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Subtly spiced and with aromas of succulent red fruit skin, the 2021 Kadette Pinotage offers delightful potpourri aromas. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is fresh with a balanced structure. It ends with a food-friendly finish and lingering tannic edge. Enjoy with food. After resting a year in used French oak barrels, just over one-third of a million bottles were produced.

Winemaker Notes

Attractive deep plum, with scented aromas of red currants, black cherry, strawberry confit and nutmeg and wood spice. The palate is medium-full bodied and opulent, with finely textured tannins and flavors of red pastille sweets, bright cherries and a hint of nutmeg oak spice and dark chocolate. The acidity is in balance with the fruit and wood components, and adds a sparkle of freshness to the red and black fruit flavours on the finish.
