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 the Barista Pinotage, with "Daar is ‘n Lied" by Stephen Eyssen. This deeply sentimental Afrikaans aria exudes warmth and heartfelt emotion, much like the Barista Pinotage’s comforting coffee and chocolate aromas. The mulberry, plum, and black cherry notes echo the tender melody and poignant lyrics, creating a pairing that feels like a heartfelt embrace. Together, they honor the soulfulness of South Africa’s musical and winemaking heritage.
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
Harvested at optimum ripeness from specific vineyards across the Western Cape, the grapes then underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Regular pump overs ensured perfect extraction. The wine was aged with carefully selected oak for 5 months to add depth and complexity to the final product.
