Why You'll Love It
Smooth, velvety and full-bodied, this is Pinotage at its most polished, with ripe fruit wrapped in soft, well-integrated tannins. Expect generous flavours of blackberry, plum and black cherry, layered with smoky spice, dark chocolate, gentle leather and a hint of vanilla from its time in oak. It's a brilliant match for barbecued meats, slow-cooked beef or mature cheddar, but it's equally satisfying on its own beside a roaring fire.
About The Producer
Lanzerac occupies a unique place in South African wine history. Situated in the Jonkershoek Valley on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, the estate dates back to 1692 and became the first winery to commercially bottle Pinotage under its own label with the legendary 1959 vintage. Today, Lanzerac continues to champion South Africa's signature grape, combining generations of experience with modern winemaking to produce elegant, age-worthy wines that showcase the best of Stellenbosch's world-renowned terroir.
Winemaking Information
100% Pinotage from Stellenbosch, including five Lanzerac vineyard blocks in Jonkershoek Valley. Hand-picked bunches and berries are sorted before fermentation in stainless steel with regular pump-overs. Free-run and press wines finish fermentation separately. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel, followed by at least 15 months in new, second-fill and third-fill French oak. Residual sugar: 2.5 g/l.
