Produced from a single 1.6-hectare vineyard in the Bottelary Hills, this Pinotage showcases elegance and precision, moving away from the bold, heavily extracted style traditionally associated with the variety. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was harvested in multiple passes according to ripeness and fermented using a combination of whole bunches, whole berries, and destemmed fruit with indigenous yeasts in open-top fermenters. Following fermentation, the wine matured for 11 months in a combination of 500-litre French oak barrels and concrete tanks, preserving purity of fruit while adding texture and complexity. The result is a beautifully perfumed, medium-bodied Pinotage with vibrant red fruit, fine tannins, and exceptional freshness. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eSucculent wild berries, cranberry, damson plum, blueberry, violets, and delicate peppery spice. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eBright red berries, black plum, mulberries, and subtle spice are framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant lemony acidity, creating a wine that is elegant, juicy, and beautifully balanced. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eCrunchy, refreshing, and persistent with lingering red fruit, subtle spice, and a fine mineral edge.\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAwards:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemag Winter Series Prescient Top 10 Award – Pinotage Report: 95 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hazendal Wine Estate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estate Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottelary, Stellenbosch, South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinotage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiara Scott Farmer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigenous yeast with whole bunch, whole berry, and destemmed fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 months in 500L French oak barrels and concrete tanks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hazendal","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":45358960377879,"sku":null,"price":429.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3026\/9496\/files\/Hazendal_Estate_Pinotage_2025_-_Mothercity_Liquor.jpg?v=1785501479","url":"https:\/\/mothercityliquor.co.za\/af\/products\/hazendal-estate-pinotage-2025","provider":"Mothercity Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
