Since 1990, Oude Kaap has been producing the finest wines in the Franschhoek wine region. Here, the old vineyards are located, and they are now in truly perfect condition. This is partly due to the substantial investments of Douglas Green Bellingham, abbreviated as DGB, which owns the winery. It is well-known in South Africa, as the group owns several wineries and has extensive experience. The winemakers share their experiences, and as a result, Oude Kaap continues to produce beautiful South African wines. Their love for the Pinotage grape is immense and receives their full attention. The old vineyards have powerful soils, and you can taste that. Combined with a wonderful climate with warmth and sufficient cooling, this Oude Kaap Pinotage develops its own unique style. The harvest is brought in early in the morning and, after pressing, is lightly aged in oak. This allows it to carry the name Reserve Collection on the label. The result is truly astonishing; what a ripe and full-bodied wine at the same time.
The aroma is refined and harmonious. You smell herbs, something Pinotage is known for, but also plenty of black fruit and a hint of jam. Yes, Oude Kaap has really done its best with this red wine. The taste is astonishing, with such fullness and complexity for this price. Bursting with black fruit, a pleasant hint of pepper, and various spices. And the finish, wow. The finish is unparalleled! A finish that just keeps going. Let yourself be seduced by this Pinotage Reserve from the Oude Kaap winery!
