Bowwood Pinotage 2016
This is only the third vintage of Pinotage made at the Vondeling winery, and yet it's been ranked in Absa's top 10. A truly luxurious and full-flavoured wine; brimful of intense blackberry, cherry, sensuous sweet cloves and subtle vanilla oak.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
