The Winemasters Reserve Pinotage

This Pinotage pairs excellently with rich winter stews, roast duck, venison steak, and even chocolate desserts, complementing the wine's robust flavors and structure. ​

The grapes for this wine are sourced from top-performing vineyards in the Western Cape regions of Darling, Stellenbosch, and Paarl. These vineyards are primarily composed of bush vines grown under dryland conditions, rooted in granite, sandstone, and shale soils. These soil types contribute to the wine's natural acidity and freshness.

The wine undergoes maturation for 12 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, which imparts subtle oak influences and enhances its complexity. ​

Upon arrival at the winery, the Pinotage grapes are gently crushed and cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is left on the fine lees to enhance freshness and longevity. A significant portion of the wine is matured in contact with American and French oak for a period of 12 months prior to bottling, adding complexity and depth. ​

Our winemaking legacy spans over two centuries with an immersive collection of award-winning wines from some of the Cape's most storied vineyards. Nederburg’s core range of varietal and blended wines is an expression of its proud legacy of winemaking excellence, dating back to 1791. These classically styled, foodfriendly wines with abundant fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of the grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every drop demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills.
