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.

2019 vintage is excellent - will buy again!

5 stars

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

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

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.

sad

1 stars

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

Pinotage

4 stars

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

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.

Very nice

4 stars

My wife bought this to accompany a special meal to commemorate what would have been her parent's 62nd wedding anniversary. It didn't disappoint. Not quite 5 stars, but close. Highly recommended, at a good price. Enjoy - we did.

Good

3 stars

Good but not specatular, well rounded with a good finish.

Great wine to accompany Roast Beef.

5 stars

Pinotage is not a wine that I have purchased before but I will certainly buy it in the future. Full of flavour and a good body. Looked lovely in the glass, Every one that shared the wine was full of praise for it.

2013 'vintage' so rather young...

2 stars

I like Pinotage. I prefer Pinot Noir but the blend of Pinot Noir and Cinsaut sometimes works for me. At the discounted price it was worth trying a case. But not for a second time. Experience is a learning curve.
