Ad Honorem

2010 Western Cape Pinotage

Graham Beck Ad Honorem is a stunning representation of the Pinotage varietal, hailing from the esteemed Western Cape region. This red wine captivates with its deep ruby hue, hinting at the vibrant flavors that await. The 2010 vintage showcases a rich and full-bodied profile, balanced beautifully by its lively acidity, which adds an invigorating brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering layers of dark berries and ripe plums, complemented by alluring notes of chocolate and spice. Tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure that encourages aging while remaining approachable now. As a dry wine, it gracefully supports an array of culinary pairings, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion. Graham Beck Ad Honorem truly embodies the spirit of the region and the craftsmanship of its winemaking heritage.

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
