Why we chose it

“Pinotage is South Africa’s own grape and Bon Courage is a brilliant example — smoky, earthy, dark cherry. Try it with grilled meat or a good burger.”

About this wine

This bold and expressive Pinotage from Bon Courage is a celebration of South Africa's signature red grape. Grown in the sun-drenched Robertson Valley, it offers rich aromas of dark plum and spice, with a deep, smoky undertone that adds complexity and charm.

On the palate, juicy blackberries and sweet cherry notes lead the way, backed by a subtle earthiness and a smooth, well-rounded finish. Perfect for lovers of full-bodied reds, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, stews, and hearty vegetarian dishes.

About the producer

Bon Courage Estate has been home to three generations of the Bruwer family since 1927, set amid the sun-drenched vineyards and limestone-rich soils of Robertson Valley in South Africa's Western Cape. Viticulturist André Bruwer and his son Jacques, the winemaker, produce a diverse range from Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage to Gewürztraminer. The estate's signature Special Late Harvest Gewürztraminer is particularly celebrated — a luscious expression balancing tropical fruit richness with vibrant natural acidity.

Having lived in South Africa...........

Having lived in South Africa, and learned there about wine..... Pinotage is one of our favourites, Bon Courage being a new discovery from The Wine Shop.
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Pepper Tree Shiraz also excellent, but the Pinotage suits our taste perfectly, at a very suitable price.

Thank you for your review, Jimm. With South Africa as your wine education, you know Pinotage better than most — so it means a great deal to hear that the Bon Courage has won you over. Rich, smoky and distinctly South African, it's a brilliant bottle at a brilliant price. Wonderful to hear the Cabernet Sauvignon and Pepper Tree Shiraz are going down well too. We hope to keep you well stocked!
