From the South East, the wind they call the Cape Doctor. From the Antarctic, winter rain. A soil that nurtures character. The burning African sun. Wind. Water. Earth. Fire. The ancient elements. An elegant blend of Shiraz 44%, Cinsault 36% and Grenache 20% presenting soft tannins and lots of fruit. Spicy with a complex aftertaste. Partly wood matured.

Pinotage, a truly South African grape, originated from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.  The FAT Bastard Pinotage was made from specially selected grapes from our ripe harvest resulting in a wine which displays intense fruit flavour and character.

All fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed to retain these expressive aromas and flavours.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity.

The nose of this wine shows ripe plum and banana with a lingering impression of chocolate and plum pudding.

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Alto Rouge was aged in oak barrels for 18 months. A fruity wine with delicious flavours of toasty tobacco, chocolate and vanilla, the ideal wine for hearty red meat dishes and will age well.
