Golden Triangle

2010 Stellenbosch Pinotage

The Stellenzicht Golden Triangle is a captivating red wine hailing from the renowned Stellenbosch region, specifically crafted from the unique Pinotage grape. This 2010 vintage showcases an inviting deep crimson hue, exuding warmth and richness. The body is medium, offering a delightful balance between weight and approachability. With its bright acidity, the wine refreshes the palate, creating an enticing experience that beckons for another sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with alluring notes of ripe blackberries and cherries that dance gracefully on the tongue. Tannins are structured yet smooth, providing a foundation that amplifies the wine's character without overwhelming it. As a dry wine, it perfectly accompanies a wide array of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. The Stellenzicht Golden Triangle not only embodies the essence of its terroir but also reflects the passion and craftsmanship that goes into its production.

Region:


Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
