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 Swartland

South African renaissance north of Cape Town: signature Chenin Blanc as king white (old bush vines) — full and mineral with notes of quince, honey, yellow fruits, toasted almond and a saline touch, noble texture and a refined finish. Signature Syrah as king red — spicy and fleshy with blackberry, raspberry, garrigue and pepper, fine tannins. Grenache and Cinsault complete it. Non-interventionist winemaking (whole bunch, old foudres).


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: Ample

Said of a generous wine with a rich body that gives an impression of fullness in the mouth.
