The Ruins Pinotage with owner Michelle du Preez - Video


The Ruins Pinotage 2010 is a modern clean fresh fruity wine. It is made at Bon Cap by Marinus Potgieter using grapes organically farmed by winery owner Roelf du Preez.

I really enjoyed a bottle with dinner the other night, it's big on bright berry fruits,  light on tannins, and easy drinking for right now.

Michelle du Preez was in town last month so I asked her to share her thoughts on the 2010 Ruins.



In the UK The Ruins Pinotage 2010 is also available from The Wine Society under their own label.
