The Pledge Our Lekker Pinotage

Red wine | Coastal Region

South Africa's emblematic grape variety!
Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, and is profoundly South African. This grape variety with a strong personality bears no resemblance to its parents, and offers an original profile that awaits discovery! Here, it offers a red wine with hints of plum and blackberry, perfumed by a year's ageing in French oak. Velvety and supple on the palate, it's a delight - 'lekker' in Afrikaans!

Exclusive to theWinefamily in Switzerland!

Colour

Silky, a beautiful ruby red.

Nose

Impression of sweet plums and blackberries, which intertwine to create a delicious fruity profile.

Palate

The wine gradually reveals aromas of red and black fruits, forming a harmonious blend that lingers on the palate.

Wine-growing terroir

Only the best Pinotage fruit is selected from the Bush vineyards in Paarl. The 10-year-old bush vines are planted on shale soils which add perfume notes to the wine.

Winemaking

After harvesting by hand, 10% of the juice is taken at the time of crushing to intensify the structure of the wine. It is then vinified for 12 months in French oak barrels.

The Pledge

The Pledge wishes to offer the best expression of South Africa's emblematic grape varieties, each on its preferred terroirs. The selection of plots, between maritime influences, altitude and exposure, then the tailor-made aging at the estate are intended to sublimate each vintage and offer the quintessence of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc or even Pinotage made in AfSud.
