Collection: Pinotage from South Africa
Pinotage is the South African wine par excellence , a true symbol of the rainbow country! It is born from the crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsault, and offers a unique mix of intense and deep flavors .
Pinotage is the soul of South Africa, and some of the best interpretations come from wineries like Simonsig , Kanonkop , Bellingham and Boschendal . Each of these labels offers a unique take on this iconic grape. Simonsig ’s Pinotages are elegant and velvety, with notes of red fruits and spice. Kanonkop ’s Pinotage is known for its robust character, with hints of plum and a smoky finish. Bellingham perfectly balances the freshness of the fruit with hints of vanilla and chocolate. And then there’s Boschendal , which gives us a rich and complex Pinotage, perfect for those looking for depth and structure.
As tasting notes, Pinotage at first sip envelops with notes of ripe red fruits, plum and a touch of sweet spices. The finish is often slightly smoky, with a robust and decisive character. A red wine from South Africa, perfect to pair with grilled meat dishes or mature cheeses.
