- Made in an elegant and modern style, this Pinotage shows vibrant notes of cherries and raspberries, with a hint of cedar and vanilla from the oak ageing. The palate has rich red fruit and the savouriness typical of the variety.
65% of the grapes come from the Eenzaamheid (Solitude) farm, a twenty-two-year-old dry-farmed bush vineyard with cooling breezes that help slow ripening. The remaining 35% comes from the Hoogstede (High Place) farm, a cool site planted on decomposed granite soils. The grapes were all hand-picked in the early morning.

Winery | Lievland is one of Stellenbosch’s most historically important farms, and the property in its current form dates back to 1934 when Baron and Baroness Von Stiernhjelm purchased it from Latvia. In late 2017, Jose Conde and Tyrrel Myburgh, two of the South African wine industry’s leading lights, purchased the estate, and they have since set about an extensive re-planting program and re-constructing the cellars. The farm is located in a favourable position on the north-western slope of Simonsberg Mountain, and its sheltered position, with cooler-than-average conditions for Stellenbosch, is ideal for high-quality wine production. |
