Thokozani Pinotage: South African Excellence with a Story

The Thokozani Pinotage Red Diemersfontein from the lauded Diemersfontein Estate in the Western Cape is a luxurious red wine and a shining example of the quality achievable with South Africa’s signature grape. Thokozani, meaning ‘celebration,’ is an empowerment project, making this wine a true celebration of both terroir and community.

Tasting Notes: Mocha, Spice, and Dark Fruit

Expect a rich, full-bodied experience, typical of premium New World Pinotage:

• Aroma: Intense bouquet of concentrated black fruits, dried cherry, and plum, underpinned by classic, enticing notes of mocha, coffee bean, and gentle leather from oak aging.
• Taste: The palate is smooth and full, with a plush, velvety texture. Well-structured tannins are ripe and soft, carrying the dark fruit and spicy characteristics through a long, elegant finish.

Perfect Food Matches & Service

This powerful red wine is built to accompany robust, flavorful cuisine:

• Food Pairings: Superb with a traditional Spiced Roast Lamb, a South African Braai (BBQ), or rich, slow-cooked beef stews. It also pairs beautifully with aged, hard cheeses.
• Serving: We recommend serving at 16-18°C (60-65°F). For optimal enjoyment, consider opening the bottle an hour before serving or decanting.
