Aaldering Stellenbosch Lady M 2012 89 Points


Lady M is an unwooded Pinotage, revealing a bright ruby red with electric purple rim.

The subtly ripe aromatics is not too dissimilar to a young Beaujolais cru such as Morgon, capturing a medley of dard red fruits such as cherries, strawberries, and mulberries, good purity.

Dry with loads of ripe red fruits on texture,  moderate acidity, fresh, vibrant and elegant, low tannins, juicy and forward, supporting the integrated high alcohol of 14% abv, very well, moreish.

Paired well with a tapioca flour dusted ostrich fillet, shallow fried on very high heat for 2 minute and served with crispy fresh tofu in dark soy sauce and spring onions.
Enjoy in flush of youth, now until 2015+
