The Story
From ancient bush vines planted in 1976 by winemaker Bernhard Bredell's grandfather in lower Helderberg, Stellenbosch, this Pinotage captures the essence of South Africa's maritime wine frontier. Bredell is a 7th generation grower-winemaker trained in Beaujolais, the Rhône, and Priorat—experience visible in the wine's delicate balance of ripe stone fruit, spring flowers, and subtle bramble. The decomposed granite and sand soil delivers a Pinotage that defies expectations.
