About This Wine

Kuier

Pinotage

Our Kuier Pinotage celebrates a South African classic with dark berry fruit notes and toasty oak-influence. Pinotage is a terrific option for red wine lovers seeking to broaden their horizons beyond the usual varietals. A crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsault, this grape was born in South African soils in the 1920s and remains a local favorite to this day. In Swartland, it enjoys long summers and cool coastal breezes that help it ripen to perfection. In this case, prevalent oak characteristics balance the fruit, making this wine both approachable and complex. This unique South African treasure is meant to be shared among friends and family, inspiring moments of connection over home-cooked meals.

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.

Oak drives the flavor profile of this wine from the nose to palate. Warm cinnamon stick and caramel aromas pull you into the glass. You will discover ripe blackberry and chocolate flavors with sturdy tannins on the dry, full-bodied palate.
