Greywacke

2007 Franschhoek Pinotage

The Chamonix Greywacke is a remarkable expression of Pinotage from the stunning Franschhoek region, an area celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and exceptional winegrowing conditions. This red wine, from the 2007 vintage, showcases a well-rounded, full-bodied character that delights the palate. With its vibrant acidity, it presents a refreshing quality that perfectly balances the rich, prominent fruit intensity, featuring lush notes of dark berries and hints of plum. The tannins are notably structured, lending a firm backbone to the wine and contributing to its longevity. This Pinotage is dry, allowing the complex flavors to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it an excellent choice for food pairings or enjoyable on its own.

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.
