Spice Route Pinotage

The Spice Route Pinotage is a powerful, deep red wine from the Swartland, one of South Africa's most up-and-coming wine regions. Pinotage, South Africa's flagship grape variety, is always an unmistakable taste experience. The intense ruby red Spice Route Pinotage smells of blackcurrants and cherries. There are also fine, sweet vanilla aromas. On the palate, this red wine from the Western Cape province in South Africa is intensely fruity with velvety tannins.

An easy-drinking wine. The grapes come from unirrigated bush vines in a single vineyard in Malmesbury. The Spice Route Pinotage matured in American oak. Discover this Pinotage with spicy Indian dishes or a mature steak, for example.

Spice Route Winery

Die Spice Route Wine Company liegt in der Region Swartland in der Stadt Paarl in Südafrika. Charles Back startete 1997 dieses Projekt. Ziel war es, nicht nur Wein, sondern auch andere regionale und alte Spezialitäten und Erzeuger in einer – man kann sagen – Genussfarm zusammenzubringen. Das ist ihm gelungen. Spice Route ist heute, nur wenige Jahre nach Gründung, zu einem echten Touristenmagnet geworden. Neben Weinen kann man hier auch Kaffee, Bier, Grappa, Essen und Kunst genießen, die allesamt vor Ort produziert werden. Die Weinlinie ist mit keinem geringeren als Weinkritiker und Weinautor John Platter gegründet worden. Der Name Spice Route stammt übrigens von der alten Seefahrerzeit ab. Als die Seefahrer in grauer Vorzeit wertvolle Gewürze von Indien um das Kap der Guten Hoffnung bis nach Europa verschifften, wurde diese Strecke Gewürz-Straße – Spice Route – genannt.

Wein wird bei Spice Route auf 182 Hektar angebaut. 65% davon werden mit roten und 35% mit weißen Reben bepflanzt. Neben reinrassigen Grenache, Pinotage und Viognier sind die einzigartigen Cuvées von Spice Route bekannt. Deren Name Chakalaka stammt vom Nationalgewürz in Südafrika ab, welches in ganz Südafrika zum Marinieren oder Würzen von Grillgut, zum Dippen von Gemüse, als Brotaufstrich und als Würzsoße verwendet wird.

Product recommendation

Spier Signature Pinotage
The Pinotage vines from the Spier vineyard are planted in rows facing north-east to south-east and are therefore never exposed to the bright afternoon sun. This prevents the grapes from overheating and developing overly spicy aromas. The proximity to the sea, which is only about 8 kilometers away, is also helpful. A low harvest of 50 hectolitres per hectare gives the grapes plenty of intensity and the wine has enough strength and depth to mature in wooden barrels. Fermentation at no more than 25 °C ensures plenty of fruit. 40% of the wine matures in French or American oak barrels, giving this Pinotage a pleasant vanilla flavor without losing the fruit.Deep cherry red in the glass, the bouquet smells of delicious fresh fruit, cherries and coconut. There are also various spices such as pepper, vanilla, leather and tobacco notes. On the palate, a fresh and refined taste: soft and creamy, with lots of cherry, raspberry, tobacco and a hint of smokiness, robust in the aftertaste, beautiful and spicy.The Spier Signature Pinotage is delicious with a classic burger, crispy roast turkey, roast suckling pig with fruity barbecue sauce or roast eggplants. Our chocolate tip: Try a white chocolate with coconut notes with this South African red wine.

Lanzerac Pinotage
The grapes for the Lanzerac Pinotage come from vineyards located at an altitude of between 400 and 420 meters above sea level. The prevailing wind here helps to cool the grapes in hot summers. The soils consist mainly of decomposed granite, which favors the deep growth of the vines and the soil retains water better.Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping over. First, second and third-fill oak barrels were used to mature the Lanzerac Pinotage. Maturation took place over a period of 15 months.

Barista Pinotage
A South African taste experience of intense, rich coffee and chocolate aromas with nuances of ripe mulberries, plums and cherries.This dry red wine is also the perfect accompaniment to food. It pairs very well with dark meat, creamy casseroles and even intense desserts. Also a great accompaniment to blue cheese or Belgian chocolate. Vinified ready to drink from the start for immediate enjoyment. We recommend 18 °C as the ideal drinking temperature.The Barista Pinotage from the Val De Vie vineyard is made from 100% Pinotage grapes from the Robertson region. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness in mid-February and divided into different batches and treated in different ways.Certain batches were treated by short heating to optimize color and then returned to the skins for alcoholic fermentation. Other batches were pasteurized and immediately fermented on oak to achieve the dark, rich coffee flavors. Still other batches were fermented conventionally on the skins and pumped over several times during alcoholic fermentation and racked into French oak to complete fermentation. All batches were stabilized by malolactic fermentation in French oak.
