The 2024 The Winery of Good Hope Full Berry Pinotage is a vibrant South African red from the Coastal Region, crafted using whole-berry fermentation to highlight purity, freshness, and a softer, more elegant expression of Pinotage. It reflects a modern, fruit-driven style focused on balance and drinkability. The nose is lively and expressive, showing cranberry, cherry, and plum, layered with notes of ground coffee, spice, and subtle smoky undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a juicy, refreshing character and a lithe texture. Red and dark fruit flavors are supported by supple, integrated tannins and a gentle savoury edge, leading to a clean, smooth, and moreish finish. The style is bright, approachable, and easy-drinking, showcasing Pinotage with finesse rather than heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to modern Pinotage—perfect for customers looking for a lighter, fruit-forward red with soft tannins and subtle spice. Ideal for casual drinking or everyday enjoyment. Drink now or over the next 1–3 years. Perfect with BBQ, grilled meats, roasted chicken, or hearty comfort food.
