Deep purple red colour. A bright, enticing nose of cherries, red and black plums, cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is packed with cherries, black plums, liquorice, cedar and layers of baking spices. Medium bodied with juicy fruit, refreshing, balanced acidity, fine grained tannins and a long satisfying finish.

A wine that carries the Pinotage flag worldwide, offering a textbook example of the variety at a very affordable price. Sourced from younger blocks, it has appealing second and third-fill barrels, granular tannins, liquorice, black cherry and raspberry fruit and a sheen of patisserie sweetness. Hard to beat at the price. 2026-31
A cold and sufficiently wet winter. A warmer August lead to early budding. Ripening conditions were good, with harvest starting 10 days early. This vintage produced wines that are elegant and age-worthy.
Fermentation took place in open top concrete fermenters at 28°C. The floating skins were punched down mechanically every 2 hours during fermentation. The juice was drawn off the skins after 3 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels.
A different expression of Pinotage, made in a softer, fruit forward style for earlier enjoyment.
Made from younger vineyards – approximately 15 year old bush vines.
2 months in older French oak barrels.
A good example of perfect Pinotage fruit expression.
