We are inspired by our country, our people and our winelands. That’s why we give our wines special names. South Africa is a unique place to grow grapes for wine – different soil types and the soaring mountains surrounding the vineyards create astounding complexity, sometimes so overwhelming you get stumped. Like an author embracing the challenge of difficult subject matter, we’ve utilised this complexity to unlock majestic wine!

 

Our Writer’s Block Pinotage is crafted from dry-land (non-irrigated) bush vines in the Swartland. These vines grow on one of the highest lying areas in the region and is rooted in deep red soils with very good water retention, which enables the vine to perfectly ripen the fruit in dry conditions.

Bouquet: On the nose a wonderful, balancing of ripe, dark red fruit like mulberry and blackberry, with mocha chocolate and Indian spice, underpinned by a bewitching hint of bramble and mint.

Palate: The palate is surprisingly rich, beautifully balanced and gives the impression of being elegant and powerful at the same time. Flavours of very ripe strawberry, cherry and darker blackberry are wrapped up in soft, comforting oak hints and a caress of vanilla and dark chocolate. Really long and luscious.
