Ingredients:

  • Spier Signature Pinotage
  • Spier Signature MCC Brut
  • Seasonal fruit (such as pineapple, pear, strawberry and other red berries, apple)
  • Honey
  • Ginger shavings

Method:

  • Cut seasonal fruit into decent sized cubes.
  • Add a dollop of runny honey to a bottle of Signature Pinotage.
  • Stir to dissolve the honey.
  • Add the fruit and ginger and place in the fridge for two hours to soak. (The ginger adds freshness without interfering with the acid or adding bitterness to the wine)
  • Remove from fridge and in your favourite glass mix two thirds Pinotage and and 1 third MCC for sparkle.
  • Add ice and serve. Drink in close proximity to water.
