@Delectable Wine this is the 2015 Rijk’s Cape Winemakers Guild Pinotage.

Our first time every at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and we will make sure to come back! (Tasting was on 9/28/18).

Thirty-fifth wine at the Friday Auction Tasting for the Cape Winemakers Guild and the twenty-third red wine. This is made up of 100% Pinotage by Pierre Wahl with fruit from Tulbagh. Aged for 22 months in a mix of new and second fill French oak barrels. Only 60 cases produced with 40 being auctioned in 2018.

Dark purplish ruby red. Some classic Pinotage notes on the nose with some smoky and savory elements, dark berries, purple flowers and slightly burnt rubber. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Big palate full of blackberries, black cherries, cedar and baking spices. Long and lingering palate with great mouthfeel. Drink till 2030.

$$$$ - Tasted at the Cape Winemakers Auction. Average bid at auction was R9,670.00 ($113.75 a bottle) a case. Highest bid was R12,600.00 ($148.21 a bottle) and lowest bid was R7,800.00 ($91.75 a bottle).

Deep golden colour. Pure nose of peach and citrus with some vegetal notes like celery coming through. Big and bold flavours on the palate but with good acidity. Worked very well with Asian stir-fry. — 5 years ago

White Pinotage! This was surprisingly very good. White peach, lime pith, background of spice. Balanced acidity, medium body of good texture. Not just a well made wine but really enjoyable. — 2 years ago
