Critics Ratings
Grangehurst Pinotage 1995
'One of South Africa’s most celebrated Pinotages, with a few years bottle age. Quite an earthy, leathery nose with some undergrowth character. The savoury, spicy palate has a chunky texture. Attractive, and with good concentration. Very good+' - Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com (May 2002)
Grangehurst CIWG Hidden Valley Pinotage 1997
