2022 Féniks Pinotage, Scions of Sinai, Stellenbosch

Planted in 1976, the Pinotage here creates a stunning wine. Foot stomped, with 30% whole bunch used to submerge the cap, this is herbal and intense, with notes of thyme and dark berry fruit. This is reminiscent of great Blaufrankisch.

Tasting notes

Féniks is one of the Cape's best Pinotages, sourced from a 1976 vineyard on the Sinai Hill, close to the cooling influence of False Bay. Low-yielding, wine-exposed vines have produced a subtle, granitic, brightly coloured red with pomegranate and raspberry fruit, some whole bunch spices, balancing acidity and thrilling precision and grip. 2025-32
