Wine Estate

2007 Robertson Pinotage

The Major's Hill Wine Estate 2007 Pinotage from the Robertson region is a delightful expression of this unique varietal. This wine showcases a medium to full body, offering a sumptuous texture that envelops the palate. The acidity is bright and refreshing, balancing the juicy fruit elements beautifully, while the fruit intensity leans towards the prominent side, revealing rich notes of blackcurrant, plum, and a subtle hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit, resulting in a well-rounded and satisfying wine experience. As a dry red, it serves as a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, making it a wonderful choice for gatherings or intimate dinners alike.

Region:


Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.
