Stettyn Pinotage 2023

Description

Discover South Africa’s Signature Grape

Pinotage is the grape that tells the story of South Africa, and the Stettyn Pinotage 2023 is a beautiful chapter in that story. Born from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, Pinotage is known for its bold fruit flavours and unique character. This wine is a fantastic expression of what makes Pinotage so special, offering a rich and rewarding experience that is both authentic and accessible.

From the Worcester Wine & Olive Route

Nestled between the mountains, the Stettyn family has been farming this land for generations. Their unique location, on the border of the cooler, wetter Boland and the drier, harsher Karoo, creates the perfect conditions for growing grapes with concentrated flavour and character. This terroir is what gives the Stettyn Pinotage its distinctive profile.

In the Glass: A Symphony of Fruit and Spice

Pour a glass and you’ll be greeted by a vibrant ruby red colour. On the nose, you’ll find an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and a hint of sweet spice. The palate is rich and smooth, with layers of dark fruit, subtle notes of cedar from oak maturation, and a touch of mocha. The tannins are supple and well-integrated, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

A Legacy of Excellence

While the 2023 vintage is a new release, the Stettyn Pinotage has a proven track record of quality. The 2022 vintage was awarded:

🏆 Double Gold – Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards

This consistent recognition is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of Stettyn wine.
