Scions of Sinai Feniks Pinotage 2021 750ml
From dry-farmed bushvines planted in 1976, this old-vine Pinotage grows in sandy, granite-rich soils at the foot of Sinai Hill, just steps from the ocean. The low yields and tiny grape clusters create a wine of purity and precision, with lifted fruit, fine structure, and a distinctive coastal freshness. A rare and characterful expression of South Africa’s heritage grape.
