Roodeberg is South Africa's most celebrated red blend, recognized worldwide for its consistent quality for more than 50 years. Literally translated as "red mountain", it is named after the red hue of South Africa's Boland Mountains at sunset. Produced in Paarl, in the heart of the Cape Winelands, Roodeberg is a timeless Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. Ripe berries on the nose, with hints of cinnamon spice and green pepper. Complex and well-structured on the palate, with firm tannins and blackberry and chocolate notes.

Our emblem of a Pinotage vine leaf shows the distinctive tooth-shaped gap between the first two lobes. Winemaker Beyers Truter, world renowned for his Pinotage wines, was named International Winemaker of the Year at the 1991 International Wine and Spirit Competition held in London. Pinotage is unique to South Africa. It was created in Stellenbosch by cross-pollinating Pinot Noir and Hermitage (Cinsaut) cultivars. The grapes derive from unirrigated bush vines of 20 - 40 years old in the famous Stellenbosch wine region. Full bodied and complex, this wine embodies the best features of Pinotage. The blackberry and cassis flavours are well balanced with the subtle wood maturation characer. It can be enjoyed now, but the smooth richness will develop even further for up to five years. Ideal with venison, red meat, curries and spicy foods.
