Guru Pinotage

Western Cape Pinotage

The Hoopenburg Guru Pinotage from Western Cape is an outstanding red wine that truly captures the essence of this unique South African varietal. It boasts a beautiful full-bodied structure that wraps the palate in sumptuous dark fruit flavors, with notes of ripe blackberry and plum coming to the forefront. The wine's high acidity brings a bright, mouthwatering liveliness, balancing the rich fruitiness perfectly. Well-structured tannins provide a firm backbone, enhancing the wine's depth and complexity. Subtle hints of smoky oak and spice add layers of sophistication, making it a delightful choice for pairing with a hearty barbecue or enjoying on its own. This handcrafted Pinotage not only showcases the exceptional winemaking skills of the region but also highlights the unique terroir of the Western Cape.

Western Cape

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.
