Discover the grape variety: Pinotage

Intensely coloured, structured reds with inky robe and firm tannins, with typical aromas of blackberry, black plum, roasted coffee, cocoa, banana and characteristic smoky notes. Made as powerful ageing reds and as more approachable fruity cuvées, sometimes as rosés. Absolute signature of South Africa (Stellenbosch, Swartland, Paarl). Cross of pinot noir × cinsault created in 1925 by Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University.

The wine region of Stellenbosch

Showcase of the South African vineyard: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — structured and age-worthy with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a menthol touch, firm tannins. Emblematic national Pinotage (created 1925) opulent and smoky (blackberry, coffee, leather). Fleshy Shiraz, supple Merlot as complement. Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.


The wine region of Western Cape

Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.

The word of the wine: Fees

This wine is characterized by a pleasant nervousness and an overall sensation of freshness on the palate, reinforced by minerality, a note of bitterness, a hint of CO2, and of course an appropriate serving temperature.
