Rijk's Private Cellar Pinotage

Rijk’s Private Cellar Pinotage – Elegant & Powerful from the Cool-Climate Region of Tulbagh

Experience how Pinotage is truly meant to taste with this outstanding wine from Rijk’s Private Cellar – a small, family-owned winery recognized as one of the very best Pinotage producers in South Africa. Located in the cool-climate region of Tulbagh, the grapes are grown on old vines and classic bush vines, resulting in low yields and exceptional concentration.

This is a modern Pinotage bursting with aroma and finesse. After gentle pressing, the juice is pumped over the skins three times daily to extract maximum flavor, followed by 22 months of barrel aging to develop structure, complexity, and balance.

Tasting profile: Ripe blackcurrant and plum are layered with dark chocolate and subtle oak spice. Fresh acidity, smooth tannins, and a long, elegant finish.

Perfect pairings: Ideal with grilled meats, lamb, game, or earthy dishes with mushrooms and smoky flavors. Also a great companion to hearty stews or a perfectly cooked steak.

This wine is a unique opportunity to discover the full potential of premium Pinotage – with depth, elegance, and the cool-climate expression of Tulbagh’s terroir.
