Rijk's Cellar is situated in the historic and picturesque valley of Tulbagh, where wines have been made for over three centuries.

Elegance, finesse and concentration of fruit are the hallmarks of Rijk's wines. In the last 14 years Rijk's Pinotage has won more local and international awards than any other producer of Pinotage in the world.  Cellermaster Pierre Wahl specially selected 15 barrels of the 2012 vintage to roudly release Rijk's Reserve Pinotage. 

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Style: Made in a classical yet approachable style with ripe black fruit aromas and a touch of oak spice. The palate is generous, with soft tannins and a long flavourful finish. Serving: Will complement grilled meats, casseroles, oven roasted vegetables and hearty pasta dishes. Keeping: Delicious now. Will benefit from further bottle maturation.

The 18th century, time-honoured art of winemaking lives on in Zonnebloem wines - from the carefully tended vineyards to the meticulous craftsmanship in the cellar.

Serve:  Room temperature 16ºC - 18ºC or slightly chilled in summer.  Complements red meats and game, as well as chicken and cheeses.
