Martindale Pinotage 2022
Pinotage
Description
The Martindale Pinotage 2022 reflects the approachable, fruit-driven style that has made Pinotage a defining part of South African wine culture. Produced in the Western Cape, the wine draws on vineyards that benefit from warm daytime temperatures balanced by cooling coastal influences. These conditions allow Pinotage to ripen fully while maintaining enough acidity to keep the wine fresh and structured.
Â
Pinotage itself is South Africaâs own grape variety, created as a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut and now widely recognised for producing deeply coloured, characterful red wines with dark fruit and subtle smoky notes.
Â
In the cellar, the focus is on preserving fruit purity and soft tannin structure, resulting in a wine that expresses the bold berry profile typical of the varietal while remaining smooth and accessible. The result is a Pinotage that captures the warmth and generosity of Western Cape fruit in an easy drinking but well-structured style.
Â
Colour:
Deep ruby red with youthful purple highlights.
Â
Nose:
Aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry lead the nose, followed by subtle hints of spice, cocoa and a gentle smoky note typical of Pinotage.
Â
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with flavours of dark berries and juicy plum. The texture is rounded and smooth, with soft tannins providing structure while allowing the fruit to remain the focus. A touch of spice adds depth without dominating the wine.
Â
Finish:
Smooth and satisfying, with lingering dark fruit and a light savoury edge.

Martindale Pinotage 2022
- Food Pairing : The generous fruit and moderate tannin structure of Martindale Pinotage 2022 make it particularly suited to flavourful, comforting dishes. It works well with a traditional South African braai, especially boerewors or grilled lamb chops, where the wineâs dark berry fruit complements the smoky flavours from the grill. Slow-cooked dishes such as beef potjie or tomato-based mince dishes also pair comfortably, as the wineâs ripe fruit softens the richness of the meal. For something simpler, mature cheddar, biltong or a hearty mushroom pie highlight the wineâs savoury character while keeping the pairing relaxed and practical.
