Piekenierskloof Tannat 2024

The Piekenierskloof Tannat pours a deeply concentrated, opaque colour that immediately hints at its intense structure. The nose opens generously with a vibrant bouquet of black and blueberries, intertwined with a good balance of red fruit, subtle spice, toasty oak, and uniquely South African whiffs of indigenous buchu. On the palate, it delivers an impressively rich yet remarkably fresh concentration where dark chocolate and charry oak mingle with notes of baked blackberry pie, vanilla, and savory pepper spice. It finishes powerfully expressive, framed by a soirée of high-quality, firm, yet beautifully polished and velvety tannins that hold its full-bodied structure upright without feeling harsh or sandy.
