"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."

Not usually a huge fan of pinotage but thought I'd have to try this out as all the other Arabella wines we've tried have been excellent and exceptional value for money.
Now, it may have been me but on first impression I got a big aroma of, what to me, seemed particularly like blackcurrant in addition to other brambly fruits. Taste was good and not as 'chewy' as all the other pinotage I've ever had. Maybe others I've had needed more aging but this was certainly pretty approachable and the bottle didn't last that long if that's any indication! Not bad.
