Gretchen

Western Cape, South Africa Pinotage 100%

House of Henkel’s Gretchen Pinotage is a delightful red wine that beautifully embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Western Cape winegrowing region in South Africa. This full-bodied varietal presents an inviting deep garnet hue, enticing the senses with its rich and balanced composition. On the palate, you’ll savor pronounced fruit intensity with prominent notes of ripe plums, black cherries, and a touch of dark chocolate, complemented by a subtle smokiness. The wine’s bright acidity brings a lively and refreshing zest, while firm, structured tannins give it a robust and lasting finish. Perfect for pairing with hearty barbecue dishes or enjoyed on its own, the Gretchen Pinotage is a testament to the vibrant terroir of the Western Cape and the craftsmanship synonymous with House of Henkel.
