Primêre Blaar
Swartland, South Africa
Savor the taste of South Africa's signature grape
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Primêre Blaar
Pinotage
Our Primêre Blaar Pinotage shows off South Africa's heritage grape with a delicious array of ripe berry flavors combined with oaky and earthy characteristics. Created in 1925 by Abraham Izak Perold, Pinotage is a crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsault grapes. This unique variety thrives in the vineyards of Swartland. Historically, this area was a wheat-growing region before making a name for itself as a source of serious South African wines. Its rugged terrain and dry climate mean vines push their roots deep into the earth to find water and nutrients, resulting in concentrated fruit characteristics. Our Pinotage offers a taste of this land and its legacy with each sip. Serve it at room temperature alongside hearty meals featuring grilled meats or earthy vegetable dishes.

WINE REGION:
Swartland
Swartland is one of South Africa's largest wine regions, famed for its mouthwatering Chenin Blancs, fragrant Syrahs and punchy Pinotage. Forty miles north of Cape Town, Swartland covers a large area from the Atlantic Ocean to the sun-kissed plains of Piketberg. The region has a hot, dry climate away from the cooling ocean, with ancient shale and granite-based soils. This forces the vines to work hard, producing small but concentrated grapes.

TASTING NOTES:
Forest Floor
Blueberry
Strawberry
Aromas of fresh, foresty herbs and coconut create an uplifting character on the nose, joined by ripe berry notes. The palate is medium-bodied with acidity and tannins that add structure but don't steal the show. A fruity and oaky profile showcases plump strawberry and blueberry flavors with subtle vanilla notes.
