Aaldering Estate Pinotage 2023

Willem Van Zyl — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:56:07 +0000

An unwooded Pinotage, that shows juicy plum and dark fruit aromas which are backed by red berries, mocha, and dark chocolate. Hints of forest floor and savoury mushroom aromas add depth to the enticing nose. Full bodied in nature, with plush, velvety tannins that are linear and lengthy support the dark fruit flavours that are backed with a lively acidity that adds length on the end of the palate.

A beautiful example of the versatility of the cultivar that is unadulterated by any wood contact nor maturation in wooden barrels.

For the adventurous, slightly chilled at 14 Deg.

This wine is unwooded and should therefore be treated as a white wine. It will age well for 5 years from.

Enjoy this wine on its own, with a salad or even with a classic seafood paella.

Stellenrust Corner Stone Pinotage 2023

Willem Van Zyl — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 11:27:01 +0000

A classic expression of South Africa’s signature varietal, sourced from 54-year-old bush vines in Bottelary. Low yields and old vines deliver concentrated flavours of raspberry, ripe peach and black cherry, with subtle oak nuances. Warm and succulent on the palate, it finishes with a distinctive chalky note, balanced sweet-and-sour complexity and lifted acidity.

Serve at 15-18 Deg.

A great partner to spicy food such as Thai green curries or traditional Cape Malay bobotie.

Enjoy now or cellar for 5–8 years under ideal conditions.

Kaapzicht Skraalhans Pinotage 2024

Willem Van Zyl — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 12:17:36 +0000

Skraalhans is a long gangly weed found in our vineyards, often growing taller than the vines themselves. Loosely translated as lean stray, the name represents this restrained, fresh and elegant new style of Pinotage. A hands-off approach has allowed the vineyards to shine through, giving the wine a profound sense of place.

Serve at 15-18 Deg.

Enjoy now through to 2028.

Pair with Lamb chops or lamb curry – the wine’s fruit and spice complement the richness.
