🍷 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.
🌿 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.
🏅 Spioenkop 1900 M. Ghandi Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red wine received 93 points from Tim Atkin, as reported by Spioenkop’s distributor Ex Animo. Its name recalls Mahatma Gandhi’s role as a stretcher-bearer at the Battle of Spioenkop; the prominent 1900 on the label refers to that historical event, while 2017 is the wine’s vintage.
🍽️ Our pairing suggestions for Spioenkop 1900 M Ghandi Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red wine include roast duck, mushroom pasta, herb-roasted chicken and charcuterie. Choose dishes with savoury depth and moderate seasoning, allowing the wine’s acidity and tannins to play against the meal.
