My first pinotage! Lucky to have a good one first and skip the bad experiences I know many have had with this grape. 👍

Stunningly stunningly good bottle of Pinot Taj. Amazing balance, with complexity and elegance.

World-class Pinotage. Seriously...if you have given up on this much maligned varietal, check this wine out. Old vines on Citrusdal Mountain...nice work Thinus! Cheers.

An un-Pinotage #Pinotage. Or, is this the real grape revealed? Damson, damp branches, savory.
