Amberley Pinotage

2005 Stellenbosch Pinotage

The Camberley Amberley Pinotage is a remarkable expression of its Stellenbosch origins, showcasing the varietal's unique character in a captivating red hue. This vintage, aged to perfection, presents a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate with depth and richness. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterbalance to the bold flavors. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious notes of dark berries, cherries, and a hint of plum, all intertwined with subtle earthy undertones. The tannins are notable, lending structure and a firm backbone while ensuring a smooth and pleasing mouthfeel. This wine is brilliantly dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own as a delightful evening companion.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
