Winemaker's notes:
The renaissance of this historic Wellington farm owned by the Camerer family includes a modernisatino of the style of Pinotage produced here over the past decade.

Veal fillet Escalopes Served with a forest mushroom and peccorino cheese risotto and a pinotage and sage butter sauce.
