If you consider just how high the temperatures in our country can climb, it gets a lot hotter here than in many Northern Hemisphere countries. A wine that is transformed when chilled is Two Oceans’ Pinot noir. With its juicy berry flavours and soft tannins the wine, served on a warm day, offers the perfectly refreshing alternative to a white wine.
This Pinot noir is medium-bodied with a lingering taste of strawberries and cherries backed by subtle oak and spice. Enjoy the wine on its own as an aperitif or with tuna or venison steak, spatchcocked chicken, vegetable skewers of mushrooms, aubergine, onion and yellow peppers, or crumbed pork chops.
You can buy the 2015 Two Oceans Pinot Noir from liquor outlets and supermarkets countrywide for about R40.
