Story
Pinotage, a unique South African grape variety created in 1925, blends Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Once nearly lost, it has grown into a celebrated wine known for its rich dark flavors. Today, it's cherished for its versatility and bold character, embodying the resilient spirit of South Africa.
Tasting Notes
Pair this rich and dark Pinotage with Afrikaans opera arias that capture the depth and warmth of the wine's character. "Heimwee," by South African composer, S. le Roux Marais, resonates with the juicy fruit core and velvety tannins of the wine, creating a nostalgic and emotive experience. It echoes the complexity and oak nuances of the wine, enhancing its smooth and long finish. This Afrikaans aria will beautifully complement the Pinotage, offering a truly immersive South African experience.
Food Pairing
This full-bodied wine partners well with darkly braised lamb shoulder on long grain rice with red cabbage & bacon kimchi or seared duck breast & mixed baby leaves salad with potato stack.
Wine Makers Note
Grapes were sourced from the best vineyards in the Western Cape. The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel & concrete tanks with two gentle pump overs a day. It was then matured in oak for 16 months with 20% of the wine aged in first-fill French barriques.
