๐ท Spioenkop 1900 M Ghandi Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red wine - is a dry red wine from Elgin, South Africa, made by Spioenkop Wines. The 750 ml bottle contains 13% alcohol and offers a distinctive choice for drinkers who enjoy savoury Pinot Noir with freshness and structure.
๐ฟ Red fruit, earthy mushroom and a subtle smoky accent shape its character. The palate combines bright acidity with a firm, spicy tannin impression, giving the wine a more savoury direction than a simple, softly fruity red. Let the flavours unfold in the glass and enjoy it alongside food rather than rushing the first sip.
