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.

This wine bears testimony to the unique terroir of the vineyards from where it is selectd and reflects both the quality and diversity of the region.  Stellebosch.  it encompasses six grape varietas that are elegantly crafted to create this distinctive yet fine wine.

It's a big wine with a plush fruit core and rich savory complexity.  Notes of fresh oreganum, dried sage and roast beef gravy give generosity and depth, with the sweet fruit running from start to long finnish.  The tannins are glossy and finely tuned, offering a modern expression that is raised to a new level.  The finely balanced structure finish provides the perfect shell for long maturation.
