We are excited to announce the release of Laborie’s first vintage of Pinotage, a wine that embodies the rich heritage and innovative spirit of our brand. Laborie has been crafting exceptional wines since 1691, and this latest addition to our portfolio is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
We are proud to introduce the Laborie Pinotage, a wine that showcases the authentic varietal characteristics of South Africa’s signature grape. This rich and flavourful Pinotage is oak matured for eight to ten months, allowing its vibrant character to develop fully. The wine entices with aromas of black currant, vanilla, plums, and dark wild berries, creating a bouquet that is both complex and inviting.
On the palate, the Laborie Pinotage reveals soft tannins that carry hints of clove spices, offering a harmonious balance and a velvety finish. Each sip is a journey, culminating in a satisfying and lingering experience that delights the senses.
The versatility of the Laborie Pinotage makes it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes. It pairs beautifully with grilled and barbecued meats, such as lamb chops, ribs, and game meats. Its bold flavours complement spicy foods, hearty stews, and casseroles, making it a perfect choice for robust and flavourful meals. The wine also matches well with aged cheeses and vegetarian dishes like mushroom risotto and roasted vegetables.
“We invite wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs to join us in celebrating the launch of the Laborie Pinotage. This first vintage is not only a reflection of our rich history but also a glimpse into the future of Laborie Wines. Experience the passion and dedication that have been poured into every bottle and discover the essence of South African winemaking at its finest,” says winemaker Kobus van der Merwe.
The wine is available at all leading retail stores as well as the KWV Online Shop.
