Ernst Grouws Pinotage

Ernst Grouws Pinotage

Winemaker’s Notes: 

A crowd-pleaser with the warmth of cloves and sweet anise.

It has a bold ruby colour, and complimentary aromas of wild bramble, ripe plums, exotic spices, baked Christmas cake and dried pears. The exotic spice profile is reminiscent of a trip to a North African open-air market. The robust, yet ripe tannins, bolster the structure without the addition of any rough edges. True to its varietal character, the wine ends with lingering flavours of sweetish red berry fruit compote.

Chef’s Notes:

Serve at ±18 degrees Celsius. The typical fruit sweetness on the finish of Pinotage makes it an ideal partner for spicy Asian-style dishes – think aromatic curries, biryani or peppered squid served with wasabi. The plush red fruit flavours will compliment bobotie, ratatouille, and oxtail.

High quality wines made from selected vineyards in the Western Cape. Our signature range of wines embodies our passion for wine making.

Ernst Gouws, the esteemed winemaker and head of the Gouws family, follows the French philosophy that emphasizes the vital connection between the vineyards’ location and the wine’s excellence. To ensure exceptional quality, grapes are carefully hand-harvested from vineyards specifically chosen around Stellenbosch, a region recognized worldwide for its exceptional fruit-driven wines. At Ernst Gouws & Co, we deeply appreciate the dedication of our grape-growing partners, whose unwavering commitment to producing outstanding fruit plays a crucial role in creating wines that exceed expectations and proudly bear the seal of approval.

Stellenbosch’s terroir is perfectly suited to growing all the noble grape cultivars used in the production of our wines, as well as the proudly South African varietal Pinotage, which was developed in the region almost a century ago.
