ABOUT THE WINE
The 2024 “Topography” Pinotage is a terroir-driven, site-specific wine from organically farmed bush vines planted on decomposed granite soils in the Swartland. Hand-harvested and sorted, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with partial whole-bunch inclusion to enhance aromatic lift and structural finesse. The wine is matured in old oak barrels to preserve purity of fruit and minerality. On the nose, expect a mlange of red currant, cranberry, and subtle earthy spice. The palate is energetic and linear, revealing Pinot Noir-like elegance over Pinotages usual power, with precise acidity and a dusting of tannin. A compelling pairing with grilled lamb, North African spices, or even a mushroom risotto.
