Pinotage

2011 Western Cape Pinotage

The Spier Pinotage from the Western Cape is a vibrant red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Pinotage varietal. This 2011 vintage presents a full-bodied experience, complemented by a medium acidity that adds a refreshing touch. The fruit intensity is prominent, bursting with notes of ripe blackberries and plums, layered with subtle hints of smoke and earthy undertones. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure while allowing the juicy fruit flavors to shine through. This wine is dry, making it a wonderful choice for pairing with hearty roasted meats or rich pasta dishes, enhancing any dining experience.

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.
