Pinotage Dak

2022 Western Cape Pinotage

The 2022 Du Toitskloof Pinotage Dak from the Western Cape is an exceptional expression of South Africa's signature varietal. This full-bodied red wine boasts high fruit intensity, offering a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors, predominantly blackberry and plum, seamlessly intertwined with subtle hints of smoke and spice. The high acidity adds a bright liveliness that balances the wine's generous structure, while the pronounced, structured tannins provide a firm yet elegant backbone. The craftsmanship of this wine reflects the unique terroir of the Western Cape, making it not only a standout in its class but also a testament to the region's celebrated winemaking traditions.

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.
