Exploring the Legacy of Pinotage: A Tribute to South Africa’s Signature Grape
Welcome to our blog! Today, we’re excited to share the story behind our Pinotage, a wine that beautifully bridges modern elegance with classic charm. This Pinotage pays tribute to South Africa’s unique and cherished grape variety, celebrating its rich heritage and distinctive character.
On the nose, our Pinotage unveils a bouquet of generous blackberry, mulberry, and blackcurrant aromas. These vibrant fruit notes are complemented by the nuanced richness of oak and a touch of vanilla spice, culminating in a smooth, textural finish that lingers beautifully.
Our vineyards, located in the renowned Rooiland blocks, benefit from the region’s distinctive red gravel soil — a testament to our commitment to showcasing the essence of our terroir. Pinotage, South Africa’s own grape variety, was first planted just down the road from Kaapzicht. It’s a variety that captures the spirit of our land and history.
In crafting this Pinotage, we adhere to its classic style: intense, plush, and opulent. No other wine embodies our origins and identity quite like this one, making it a true representation of where we come from and who we are.
