Prophecy - Pinotage 2023

First envisioned in 2013, Prophecy is our inaugural Pinotage—a wine born from quiet contemplation. Like the stillness that follows a passing storm, this expression redefines expectations with a delicate, graceful profile. It offers an aromatic spectrum of ripe red cherries, subtle dried earth, and a wisp of fynbos spice, layered over a remarkably refined, silky structure that rewards patience and delights the senses.
