Pinotage Bottelary Hills 2018 - Neil Ellis

 The Pinotage Bottelary Hills by Neil Ellis is a wonderful, grape varietal and balanced red wine from the South African wine region Stellenbosch. 

In a dark ruby red with cherry red highlights, this wine presents itself in the glass. The lush bouquet is dominated by dark stone fruits (ripe cherries and juicy plums) with a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, this South African red wine is wonderfully balanced and shows a great elegance, a ripe tanning structure with a finely integrated fruit acid. The finale comes with a pleasant length.

After completion of the fermentation process, this wine is rounded off for 16 months in French oak wooden barrels - 60% of which are new wood.
