Description
We're not Pinotage regulars here at DD, but this Pinotage from Wolf & Woman seriously stopped us in our tracks.
Jolandie Fouché has a knack for making Pinotage that’s both true to its Swartland roots and seriously drinkable. The 2023 release comes from two dry-farmed bush vine sites in the Paardeberg—one planted in 1973, the other in 1999—set in decomposed granite soils that give the wine its purity and structure.
The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning, cooled overnight, and then naturally fermented with a mix of whole-cluster and whole-berry fruit. After a gentle maceration and 14 days on skins, it spent eight months in old oak before settling in concrete for another two. The result? A Pinotage with bright red fruit, subtle spice, and fine tannins that keep everything in check.
It’s got depth without being heavy, making it just as good for a midweek dinner as it is for tucking away in the cellar. A fresh, refined take on South Africa’s signature grape.
95 points
"Light and ethereal, it has subtle 15% whole bunch spices, plum and red cherry fruit, violet and rose petal top notes and sculpted tannins. 2024-30."
- Tim Atkin MW (2024 South African Wine Report)
