Spice Route Swartland Pinotage from South Africa is a captivating Red (still) wine, dry in style, crafted entirely from Pinotage grapes. Fermented in open concrete fermenters and matured in American oak barrels, with a portion in underground clay pots, it offers intense ruby red colour with rich blackcurrant and cherry aromas. The palate reveals intense dark fruit flavours, complemented by bright acidity and subtle spice. This organic, vegan, and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from hearty red meats to mature cheeses.

Vinification
The bunches were fermented in 5-tonne open concrete fermenters with manual punch-down of the skins twice a day, extracting deep colour and flavour. The wine was pressed off and transferred to tight-grain American oak barrels with 30% new oak used to complete malolactic fermentation and maturation. A small portion also matured in underground clay pots.
