Barista Description
Why have we called this extraordinary wine “Barista”? Well, the term barista refers to people who specialise in making espresso-based coffees, so naming our unique Coffee Pinotage “Barista” is most appropriate.
There’s even something called “barista art”, where the frothy cap of your cappuccino is decorated with intricate coffee-powder images in the shape of leaves, flowers, birds or abstract patterns. The skill and technique that goes into the creation of Barista wines requires just as much dedication to the craft, and the results are made clear from the very first sip.
This is a deliberately modern offering by winemaker Bertus Fourie, who was responsible for the first coffee-styled version of South Africa's signature grape.
TASTE: A burst of intense, rich coffee and chocolate aromas with nuances of ripe mulberry, plum and Maraschino cherries. The sweet aroma of vanilla follows through on the palate and melds with the soft, luscious tannins. A wine ready to be enjoyed.
ENJOY: Drink on its own or with seared duck breast, crispy pork belly or your favourite pizza. Bertus recommends a blue cheese-filled brandy snap with chocolate and roasted coffee beans!
