Nieuwe Haarlem was founded as a tribute to the Dutch trading spirit and its significance for South African winemaking. South African winemaking, in particular, is put on a pedestal with the wines of Nieuwe Haarlem. The Pinotage and Chenin Blanc have been given the spotlight. Literally, because on the vineyards in Malmesbury, towards the Swartland region, the sun is working overtime. Here in the vineyards, an hour's drive north of Cape Town, the conditions are ideal for winegrowing.
Pinotage, in particular, has a special bond with South Africa. Nearly a century ago, this grape was developed at the University of Stellenbosch. In just under a century, it became the poster child for top-quality South African wines.
The Nieuwe Haarlem Pinotage has a completely different character. It's incomparable, yet so beloved. The aromas and nuances of Nieuwe Haarlem Pinotage are striking and vibrant, making it a truly original glass of South African wine. Upon pouring, your senses are captivated by notes of roasted bay, fragrant cherries, and rich blackcurrant fruit. Thanks to its oak aging, Nieuwe Haarlem Pinotage also boasts complexity with notes of cedar and dark chocolate.
