Kumala Fairtrade Pinotage Shiraz 2019 review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

co op

Flavours of cherry cola along with a distinct leathery taste make this South African red seem more like an expensive red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir. The hint of farmyard manure seals it. There is some plum and violets on the taste but this wine could do with more fruit flavours to be more enjoyable if you’re looking for an everyday Shiraz red.
