Durbanville Pinotage 2024

 A Celebratory Release

This wine was crafted in three significant milestones: The 200th Anniversary of the town of Durbanville, 100 years of Pinotage as a true South African cultivar, and 100 years of Afrikaans as an official language.

The winemakers notes

A refined expression of cool climate Pinotage, this wine opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, prune and cherry, lifted by gentle undertones of winter spice. The palate is elegant and well-structured, guided by soft, powdery tannins that provide length and finesse. A lively natural acidity brings vibrancy and definition, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine. This wine offers freshness and depth, with the potential to develop further complexity over time.

Food pairing

An ideal companion to classic roast dishes such as slow-cooked leg of lamb, or meals with a smokey profile, such as barbecued sticky pork ribs. For a vegetarian pairing, a rich aubergine moussaka will compliment the wine’s depth and structure.
