ABOUT THIS WINE:
Maader 99
Pinotage
Our 91 point, Gold Medal-winning Maader 99 Pinotage offers dense fruit flavors and enticing umami characteristics. This local grape is somewhat uncommon outside of its South African home. Those lucky enough to try it fall in love with its bold fruit flavors and satisfying structure. Swartland's climate is hot and dry, cooled by mild Atlantic breezes. This allows grapes to ripen well into March and April—which is harvest time in the Southern Hemisphere. As a fourth-generation, family-run business and members of Fairtrade International™, our local winemaker's partners share our respect for nature and community. They celebrate their heritage and the bright future of South Africa's vineyards by crafting unique wines with charming personalities. Serve this wine with grilled burgers or kebabs to experience its layers of flavor come to life. Scroll through the image carousel above to lear ...

WINE REGION:
Swartland
Swartland is one of South Africa's largest wine regions, famed for its mouthwatering Chenin Blancs, fragrant Syrahs and punchy Pinotage. Forty miles north of Cape Town, Swartland covers a large area from the Atlantic Ocean to the sun-kissed plains of Piketberg. The region has a hot, dry climate away from the cooling ocean, with ancient shale and granite-based soils. This forces the vines to work hard, producing small but concentrated grapes.

TASTING NOTES:
Pomegranate
Plum
Forest Floor
Our Pinotage is rich and complex, with earthy aromas and scents of dried fruit on the nose. This wine is medium-bodied but feels brighter thanks to lively acidity and soft tannins on the palate. Ripe pomegranate and plum flavors join a touch of spice for a balanced finish.
