2023 Remhoogte - Pinotage Simonsberg Vantage (750ml)

Remhoogte is a small family estate on the high slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, run by brothers Chris and Rob Boustred. Their Vantage Pinotage comes from two hectares of low-yielding bush vines on a granite ridge above the town of Stellenbosch, cooled by breezes off False Bay. Chris handles the fruit gently, with wild yeasts and minimal intervention. The wine then ages in oak, which rounds it out without covering the fruit. This is Pinotage at its most refined: ruby red, with raspberry, black cherry and violet, plus a touch of spice and earthy depth. The palate is juicy and elegant, with fine tannins and a lightly savory finish. A great match for braai, burgers, BBQ ribs or lamb chops.
