False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 2023
Pinotage
Description
False Bay Vineyards taps into the rugged vitality of dry-farmed bush vines perched near South Africa’s iconic False Bay, where the cool coastal breeze tempers heat and extends the growing season. These unirrigated, old Pinotage vines produce small, concentrated berries that capture both fruit purity and natural balance. Crafted with minimal intervention - including wild yeast fermentation and gentle maturation - the False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 2023 reflects its terroir with freshness, earthy spice and vibrant berry character. Sustainably farmed and hand-harvested, this is Pinotage in a style that leans more towards expressive fruit and refined structure than heavy oak sweetness.
Colour: Bright ruby-garnet with youthful clarity in the glass.
Nose: Aromas of ripe red berries, plum and a subtle earthy undercurrent meet hints of thyme and spice, offering a fresh, inviting bouquet.
Palate: Medium-bodied and lively, the palate delivers juicy red and dark fruit flavours - think mulberry, plum and blackberry - supported by balanced acidity and soft, approachable tannins. A touch of savoury spice and gentle oak nuance adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
Finish: Smooth and easy-going with a clean, slightly spiced finish that leaves a pleasant impression of fruit and subtle savoury notes.

False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 2023
- Food Pairing : The vibrant fruit and balanced structure of False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 2023 pair beautifully with hearty South African cooking. Try it alongside flame-grilled boerewors or braaied pork chops, where the wine’s bright red fruit and soft tannins complement smoky, savoury char. It also works well with rich tomato-based stews or a venison burger with caramelised onions - the refreshing acidity and gentle spice help balance richer flavours without overpowering them.
