Vinification Details

  • The grapes are crushed and allowed to cold soak overnight in an age-old technique using open fermenters. The wine is fermented on the skins for 3 days and then drained to a combination of small French and American oak for a 12 month maturation period.

History

  • A family run winery, Stellenrust bottled their first wine on the farm in 1928. The farm is run by brothers Tertius (winemaker) and Kobus (viticulturist), who are committed to following their father's dream: to give something back to the workers who have themselves given so much to the farm. As a Fairtrade producer they boast one of the most successful Black Economic Empowerment projects in South Africa. This has resulted in 70 employees taking ownership of the land they farm.

Regional Information

  • Today the farm comprises around 400ha (200ha planted), half of which stretches over the Golden Triangle area of Stellenbosch, and the other half is situated high up in the Bottelary Hills, renowned for its cool climate and late afternoon sea breezes swooping in from Cape Town. The Pinotage is produced in the Dryland Vineyards, an area of Stellenbosch famed for producing wines with concentrated fruit characteristics.

A good buy. Perhaps not the best Pinotage I've eve

4 stars

A Tesco Customer20th June 2022

A good buy. Perhaps not the best Pinotage I've ever tasted, but fair at the price.

Easy-drinking and inoffensive.

3 stars

A Tesco Customer19th April 2022

Opened this on a 'school night' to have a glass with dinner. Decanted it, and gave it a good slosh about. Just an easy-drinking, nothing to shout about, light red wine. My first foray into South African red, and an encouraging one. Bought as part of a 25% off 6 deal, and no gripes at that price. 3* isn't a condemnation by any means - it just hasn't got the 'wow' factor of my established favourites.

A Tesco Customer27th February 2022

Easy drinking wine. I enjoyed a glass of this as I cooked our roast chicken Sunday meal. We had the rest of the bottle with our roast dinner. Okay, so no complexity of some of the dearer wines, but very easy, smooth drinking. No strong tannins, which I like. Light enough (but not weak) to go with a variety of family meals. I would buy this again.

Disappointed

A Tesco Customer15th January 2022

I did not enjoy this wine and thought it tasted rather rough. Would not buy again and am not enjoying drinking it right now.

2019 vintage is excellent - will buy again!

5 stars

A Tesco Customer19th July 2021

Great example of Pinotage! Usually a polarising wine but I'm unsure how anyone could dislike this, it's got chocolate and coffee as well as blackberry and bramble. We had the 2019 vintage which was excellent, seems like some of the older vintages may have disappointed but this one really hit the spot.

Don't buy

2 stars

A Tesco Customer21st November 2020

Can't believe this is included in Tesco's finest. Less than ordinary - would be expensive if half the price. Only with lots of cheese is it even drinkable. Would not recommend

Disappointing

1 stars

A Tesco Customer25th May 2020

Weak flavour and watery no punch of depth or flavour to it at all. Really disappointed compared to others in the finest range. Would not buy again.

A Tesco Customer20th October 2019

Any resemblance to pinotage is apocryphal,at best its a rough red. All the attributes of pinotage are absent ,avoid like the plague.

A Tesco Customer16th January 2018

We find that the finest range of wines suit us. We are not experts, so we feel we cannot give an informed opinion. The pinotage wine is lovely with poultry

Reasonable

3 stars

A Tesco Customer28th April 2017

Bought this as part of the latest Tesco wine deals as I hadn't had a bottle of South African wine in a long while. Decent depth with a strong flavour of berries. Not as smooth as a lot of wines which use the Pinot Noir grape as a base. Not my particular taste and I will stick to, what I think of as better wines, from other countries and stay clear of South Africa. Some of the wines currently coming out of Portugal for example, represent better value with a more satisfying taste.
