Pinotage Bush Vine Wine from False Bay, South Africa 2020

Discover the bold character of this South African Pinotage crafted from Stellenbosch’s prized vineyards. This red wine embodies a harmonious blend of ripe fruit and savory depth, shaped by traditional methods and terroir-driven excellence.

Sourced from low-yielding bush vines—known for their concentrated flavors—this Pinotage undergoes wild yeast fermentation to enhance its natural complexity. Aged in large French oak foudres rather than small barrels, it develops a velvety texture with subtle oak nuances that complement its rich plum and black cherry aromas. A faint smokiness evokes thoughts of grilled meats, adding an earthy contrast to its juicy fruit profile.

At 13% alcohol by volume, it offers smooth sipping pleasure without heaviness. Perfect for pairing with roasted game, herb-crusted lamb, or charred vegetable dishes, this wine balances approachability with sophistication. Its savory undertones set it apart from fruit-forward alternatives, making it ideal for those seeking a layered drinking experience rooted in authentic winemaking traditions.

Elevate your table with this Stellenbosch gem—a celebration of South Africa’s iconic Pinotage grape and meticulous craftsmanship that honors both heritage and modern palates.
