The Painted Wolf is also known as the African Wild Dog or Painted Dog - a highly social animal, each with its own ornate markings.  The den is at the heart of the pack, a place where Painted Wolves relax and bond.  The Den Pinotage is luscious, fruit-packed and full-bodied - a social wine to enjoy with family, friends and good food.

As you "paint your palate" with this wine your are making a contribution to the conservation of this rare and endangered animal.

Sourced from hand-harvested fruit in the acclaimed Stellenbosch region, this classic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot was cask matured for 20 months.  

Plum, dark berry and cigar box aromas prelude a multi-layered palate with elegant tannins.  This wine will reward decanting before serving in its youth or patient cellaring under ideal conditions.

This wine commemorates the custodian who lovingly revitalised the farm during his ownership.

This wine is produced by the La Motte Cellar, historic landmark in the Franschhoek Valley, home to South Africa's gourmet capital.  The style reflects old-world traditions skilfully harmonized with new-world intensity.

Carefully selected grapes from different vineyards have produced pepper, spice and berry fruit flavours, typical of this varietal.  A firm structure, with a long finish.  Perfect with roasts and spicy plates.
