WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

What makes Slanghoek special is its “Valley Expression.” The Slanghoek Valley has its own distinct weather patterns, often receiving higher rainfall and cooler night temperatures than the surrounding regions. This is “Special” because it allows for a longer ripening period, resulting in grapes that have intense flavor without the “jammy” over-extraction. It is the go-to bottle for those who want a premium, award-winning wine that maintains an unpretentious and incredibly drinkable character.

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: An inviting and “warm” aromatic profile. Leading with ripe purple plums and succulent mulberries, it follows up with a subtle hint of sweet vanilla and a characteristic touch of dried herbs.

Palate: Generous, juicy, and wonderfully smooth. The palate is dominated by dark berry fruit and black cherries, supported by integrated, velvety tannins. It has a rounded mouthfeel that makes it incredibly approachable from the first sip.

Finish: A clean and lingering finish that leaves a pleasant trail of red berry fruit and a final, savoury whisper of toasty oak spice.

Product details

The Slanghoek Pinotage is a masterfully balanced red that celebrates the “sweet spot” between fruit-driven accessibility and traditional structure. Sourced from the valley’s lush, sun-ripened vineyards, this wine is designed to showcase the varietal’s softer side. It features a deep ruby color and a medium-to-full-bodied profile that has been polished by careful maturation in oak. It is a wine that avoids the aggressive tannins of younger Pinotages,

Food Pairing

The Slanghoek Pinotage is a social butterfly, making it an excellent partner for a wide variety of hearty dishes. It is the ultimate companion to Sticky BBQ Pork Ribs or a Flame-Grilled Beef Burger topped with melted cheddar. Its soft tannins and fruit-forward nature make it a spectacular match for Traditional Venison Pie or a Rich Tomato-Based Pasta like Penne Arrabbiata. For a local favourite, pair it with Spiced Lamb Sosaties (meat skewers) or a platter of Mildly Cured Biltong. It also shines alongside Semi-Hard Cheeses such as Boerenkaas or aged Gouda, where the wine’s fruitiness balances the savoury salt of the cheese.
