De Grendel Amandelboord Pinotage is a characterful yet elegant red wine from the renowned Durbanville region near Cape Town, where De Grendel's vineyards benefit from the cool maritime influence of Table Bay. This wine was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the De Grendel winery and is a tribute to Sir De Villiers Graaff's grandfather, the 2nd Baronet, whose favorite grape variety was Pinotage - especially from the cool hillside vineyards of Durbanville.

The name Amandelboord ("almond orchard") recalls the gentle rides that the young De Villiers once took with his grandfather through the estate's almond groves. Back then, the scent of almond blossom mingled with the fresh sea breeze from Table Bay. Today, the Pinotage vines grow exactly where the almond trees once stood - an emotional and terroir-related connection between past and present.

The grapes are harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning to preserve freshness and aromas. After destemming, open fermentation takes place, accompanied by pneumatic punch-downs four times a day to gently extract color, structure and aromas. The wine is then basket-pressed and undergoes malolactic fermentation in the tank. Once completed, the Amandelboord Pinotage matures for 12 months in 225-liter barriques made from a combination of French and American oak, using 12% new wood - enough to add depth and spice without overpowering the fruit.

In the glass, the wine is a deep ruby red. The bouquet is elegant and complex, characterized by dark cherries, ripe plums and spicy notes, complemented by subtle hints of spices and subtle wood. On the palate, the Amandelboord Pinotage is full-bodied and balanced, with supple tannins, clear fruit and a fine, structured freshness. The finish is long, harmonious and refined, with depth and elegance.

A Pinotage with provenance, history and character that is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat, lamb, game dishes or spicy, hearty dishes and impressively demonstrates how finely and stylishly this grape variety can be interpreted.

Alvi’s Drift Verreaux Pinotage
Alvi’s Drift Verreaux Pinotage
Beim Verreaux Pinotage handelt es sich um den absoluten Spitzenwein des Weingutes Alvi´s Drift aus Südafrika. Die Trauben des Flagship Range Weins stammen aus der Region Walker Bay. Diese hat ein mediterranes Mikroklima mit einer reichen Bodenvielfalt und Wasser vom lebensspendenden Breede River. Daraus entsteht ein bemerkenswerter Wein mit einzigartigem Charakter und Komplexität. Der Alvi´s Drift Verreaux Pinotage hat eine dunkle, rubinartige Farbe und besticht durch Aromen von Vanille, Süßholzwurzel und einem Hauch von Gewürzen, ergänzt durch reiche Noten von Brombeeren, Schwarzkirschen und Pflaumen. Die mittel- bis vollmundigen, packenden Tannine dieses Weins sind wunderbar ausbalanciert mit der Frucht, die sich am Gaumen fortsetzt und verlockend im Mundraum verweilt. Nach der Gärung reift der Wein 22 Monate lang in einer Kombination aus neuen französischen und amerikanischen Eichenfässern. Daraus ergibt sich ein großes Alterungspotenzial und der Rotwein wird von einer sorgfältigen Kellerreifung von 8-10 Jahren noch profitieren.Der Verreaux Pinotage von Alvi´s Drift passt hervorragend zu Wildbraten, gegrilltem Steak oder Entengerichten.

Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage
Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage
Diesel Pinotage is certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, it quickly becomes clear when you know the story behind it. Diesel was the name of Beyers Truters, owner of Beyerskloof, dog and a beloved and loyal, constant companion of his master. The dog was not only to be found in the vineyard, but also in the cellar or next to the desk. So it was clear for Beyers Truter to name his best wine after his "best" friend.The grapes for the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from bushvine vines. This type of cultivation is frequently used in South Africa, especially for Pinotage. The fermentation process took place over 5 days in open barrels at an average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. The mash was pressed down every 2 hours. Malolactic fermentation then took place in stainless steel tanks. New French oak barrels were used for the 21-month maturation. Of the 300 barrels filled, only 20 barrels were ultimately selected for the Diesel Pinotage.The color of the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is deep purple. The bouquet is characterized by complex blackberry aromas and dark fruits, surrounded by an elegant cedar wood note. The palate reveals a fine but complex structure of black and red fruits. A truly great red wine that impresses with an excellent balance of fruit and wood. A wine with outstanding potential that will continue to give pleasure in 10 years or more.The ideal accompaniment to spicy Indian dishes or a well-matured rump steak. Beyerskloof Diesel is probably one of the best Pinotage from the Cape.

De Grendel Op die Berg Chardonnay
De Grendel Op die Berg Chardonnay
Die Weinregion heißt Ceres und die Trauben für den Op Die Berg Chardonnay stammen vom Witzenberg, der auf einer Höhe von 960 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel liegt. Die Region hat ein kontinentales Klima mit kühlen Nachttemperaturen und heißeren Tagestemperaturen während der Vegetationsperiode, das zu einer langsameren Reifung und mehr konzentrierter Frucht beiträgt. Der De Grendel Op Die Berg Chardonnay hat eine zitronenblasse Farbe mit klarer heller Durchsicht. In der Nase finden sich exotische Fruchtnoten, Gewürzaromen und eine leichte Vanillenote aus der 5-monatigen Reifung in französischen Barriquefässern. Am Gaumen wunderbar elegant und dezent, aber kraftvoll. Der Geschmack wird geprägt von konzentrierten Aromen von Kokosnuss, Ingwer und Marmelade von leichter Süße. Ein Weißwein von jugendlicher Frische, der im Laufe der Jahre an Reichtum und Intensität gewinnen wird. Probieren Sie den De Grendel Op Die Berg Chardonnay zu cremigen Gerichten wie Steinpilzrisotto oder Gnocchi mit Cambozola. Auch in Kombination mit Ziegenkäse sehr zu empfehlen.
