WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

What makes this bottle special is its “Uncomplicated Excellence.” In a world of over-oaked and overly serious wines, Ken Forrester created the Petit range to be “the house wine that everyone loves.” It is special because it proves that a “value” wine doesn’t have to compromise on character. It captures the smoky, fruity essence of Pinotage without the wait, making it the go-to bottle for “happy casual occasions.”

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: A cheerful and aromatic burst of spicy mulberries, plum pudding, and bright red cherries. There is a distinct, classic Pinotage undertone of smoky bacon and a touch of earthiness.

Palate: Juicy, soft, and immensely accessible. The palate mimics the nose with concentrated red fruit, supported by a velvety mouthfeel and remarkably supple tannins. It is light enough to be served slightly chilled on a warm day.

Finish: Clean and fruit-driven. It leaves a refreshing, lingering taste of summer berries and a subtle hint of savoury spice.

Sourced from south-east facing slopes in Stellenbosch, the grapes are cool-fermented and pressed early to avoid harsh tannins. The result is a vibrant, medium-bodied wine that celebrates the “modern” style of South Africa—clean,

Food Pairing

The Petit Pinotage is a "lifestyle" wine that refuses to be fussy. It is the spiritual companion to a Casual Backyard Braai (BBQ), pairing effortlessly with Smokey Grilled Chicken or a Gourmet Burger topped with bacon and brie. Its lack of heavy tannins makes it one of the few reds that can comfortably accompany a Spicy Pepperoni Pizza or a Hearty Vegetable Lasagna. For a true South African treat, enjoy it with a bowl of Spiced Biltong or Roasted Nuts—the wine's juicy acidity perfectly balances savoury, salty snacks.
