A classic expression of South Africa’s signature grape, this Pinotage comes from Lanzerac Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, home of the first bottled Pinotage. Vineyards in the Jonkershoek Valley provide ideal conditions for producing structured, expressive wines.
Tasting Notes:
Deeply coloured, with aromas and flavours of ripe berries and plums. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with a well-balanced interplay between fruit and oak. Tannins are integrated, leading to a velvety texture and a lingering finish with subtle chocolate notes.
Winemaking:
Crafted to emphasise balance and structure, the wine highlights the natural character of Pinotage while maintaining harmony between fruit and oak. Careful cellar practices ensure polished tannins and depth of flavour.
Food Pairing:
Enjoy with barbecued meats, roasted lamb, rich pasta sauces or mature cheeses.
ABV: 14%
