More information about Allée Bleue Pinotage 2019
The Allée Bleue Pinotage impresses already in the glass with its intense brick-red color and the variety of aromas makes the hearts of red wine lovers beat faster. Fruity notes of ripe cherries and plums are underpinned by sweet vanilla and licorice. A touch of cedar perfectly rounds off the profile characteristic of the Pinotage grape variety. On the palate, the rich and soft Allée Bleue Pinotage delights above all with its elegance, so it is a treat on its own. However, the red wine, aged for sixteen months in oak, is also excellent with dark meat in a fruity sauce and vegetables.

In 1999, the Dauphin family of German entrepreneurs acquired the ALLÉE BLEUE estate, which at that time was still known as MEERRUST. With a lot of pioneering spirit, they revitalized the estate, which was founded in 1690 and has an area of 150 hectares and had not produced a noble drop for over 100 years. Today the red and white wines of ALLÉE BLEUE are internationally recognized and belong to the top class. The vines we cultivate thrive on sandstone soils interspersed with shell limestone.
