Chamonix Greywacke Pinotage, Franschhoek

Chamonix is all about the passion of place: a real honest desire to express the beauty we find ourselves in daily. Since being acquired by German-born entrepreneur and adventurer Chris Hellinger two decades ago, the estate has undergone tremendous improvements and offers visitors a host of culinary and recreational options in spectacular surroundings.

The Greywacke Pinotage has a deep garnet red colour with tinges of dark violet when young. The bouquet is complex with scents recalling wild berries, spice and cherries. On the palate the wine shows full body and rich dark chocolate with fruit flavours, balanced elegantly by tannins, with a long and lingering finish that reveals a sweetness reminiscent of liquorice.
