A Wild and Expressive South African Classic
Tasting Notes
Fresh plummy aromas mingle with savoury, smoky notes in this richly fruited yet satisfyingly complex Pinotage. Ripe black cherries, mulberries, and dark plums lead the way, balanced by hints of mocha and sweet spice. The palate is vibrant and full-bodied, with slightly rustic yet moreish tannins, culminating in a persistent, structured finish.
Perfect Serve
Ideal with barbecued meats, boerewors, or slow-cooked pork belly. It also pairs beautifully with rich game dishes or a comforting plate of sausage and mash. For a truly South African experience, try it alongside a traditional bobotie.
Artisan Craftsmanship
The grapes for False Bay ‘Bush Vine’ Pinotage come from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in Stellenbosch, planted in 1996. This coastal site benefits from cooler temperatures, producing naturally balanced, concentrated berries. Under the guidance of Waterkloof’s talented young Cellarmaster, Nadia Barnard, the grapes are hand-harvested, fermented spontaneously with wild yeast, and aged in large French oak foudre. This natural approach results in a wine that is more ‘Pino’ than ‘Tage’—showcasing elegance alongside depth. Sustainably farmed, hand-picked, and naturally crafted, this is Pinotage with a real sense of place.
