Guillermo Pinotage is named after Billy ‘Guillermo’ Hughes, close friend of Jeremy and Emma Borg, owners of Painted Wolf Wines. He was among the first investors in their winemaking and conservation adventure, trading grapes for shares in Painted Wolf. Billy, who owns Kasteelsig vineyard, is an uncompromising exponent of organic and naturally farmed grapes with a keen interest in biodynamics. For a few vintages Jeremy helped Billy make his Nativo wines. Jenny Metelerkamp, who lived with Jeremy and Emma in the bush in Botswana, produced the fine painted wolf ink drawing for the labels. Jeremy has applied the winemaking knowledge that he learned at Rosenblum Cellars, many years ago while making Zinfandel, to his Pinotage production. As such he has earned the reputation of making one of South Africa’s very best. A beguiling wine with rich, spicy red berry and black cherry aromas, evident ripe tannins and a long, complex finish.
