More information about Allée Bleue Pinotage 2020
The Allée Bleue Pinotage presents itself in an intense red and the typical aromas of the grape variety immediately fill the nose. Fruity notes of ripe cherries and plums, followed by sweet vanilla, licorice and some cedar wood give the Allée Bleue Pinotage a complex bouquet and a certain depth. On the palate, this rich red wine is soft and very elegant. Enjoy the Allée Bleue Pinotage with dark meat in a fruity sauce with glazed vegetables. However, a full-bodied Pinotage that reflects the terrior and its grape variety should definitely also be tasted on its own.

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.
