Duke Pinotage 2024
Produced by Wellington Wines, the Duke Pinotage 2024 reflects the generous fruit and warm growing conditions of the Wellington region. The cellar itself is a long-standing co-operative made up of around 60 growers from Wellington and neighbouring areas including Paarl and the Swartland, giving the winery access to a broad range of vineyard sites and terroirs.
The Duke range was created to offer approachable, well-made wines that overdeliver for their price point while still expressing regional character. In the case of the Duke Pinotage 2024, the focus is firmly on ripe fruit, balance, and drinkability rather than heavy extraction or excessive oak influence.
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness before fermentation on the skins for colour and flavour extraction. A portion of the free-run wine was matured in oak barrels, adding subtle spice and structure while allowing the bright fruit profile to remain at the forefront.
Colour:
Dense ruby red with youthful brightness and a vibrant core.
Nose:
Expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry, blueberry and ripe plum lead the nose, followed by gentle spice, earthy undertones and subtle oak.
Palate:
Soft and juicy on entry, with generous red and purple berry fruit carried by fresh acidity and fine, ripe tannins. The wine has a smooth, medium-bodied texture with enough grip to keep the palate focused and balanced.
Finish:
Dry and lingering, with notes of cherry, spice and a touch of earthiness carrying through the finish.
- Food Pairing : The Duke Pinotage 2024 is an easy wine to pair with hearty, flavour-driven dishes. It works particularly well with sticky pork ribs, grilled lamb chops, boerewors rolls, or smoky braai dishes, where the ripe fruit and gentle spice complement charred flavours beautifully. The wine’s soft tannins and juicy texture also make it a good match for Cape Malay curries or rich tomato-based pasta dishes, balancing savoury richness without overwhelming the food.
