Collectors Reserve The Promenade Pinotage

This Pinotage pairs well with rich, robust recipes, slightly spicy fruit dishes, and cheeses such as Cheddar and matured Gouda. ​

The grapes are sourced from an 18-year-old vineyard on the open westerly side of the Durbanville valley. The block faces west, exposing it to the afternoon sun, which contributes to the development of soft tannins and balanced acidity in the grapes.

The wine is matured for 14 months in a combination of new and second-fill French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and structure.

After being hand-harvested, the grapes undergo minimal intervention. The must is carefully managed to concentrate body and flavors. The wine undergoes fermentation and is then aged for 14 months in a combination of new and second-fill French oak barrels, imparting complexity and softening the tannins.

The unique location of Durbanville Hills’ cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold. Although the Durbanville area is renowned for its SAUVIGNON BLANC that excels under the cool conditions where it is grown mostly on the cool south-facing slopes, the range of RED WINES also benefit from the warmer valley outskirts and opposing northern slopes.
