Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage is a spicy, fruity and complex red wine showcasing South Africa’s most distinctive grape.

Steeped in a history dating back to 1692, the Lanzerac Wine Estate, home to the first bottled Pinotage, lies at the foot of the majestic Jonkershoek Valley of Stellenbosch.

The Pionier Pinotage is a 20 year old single vineyard block. Hand harvested and sorted followed by fermentation on the skins in stainless steel tanks for seven days. Only natural yeast was used for fermentation. The wine under-went malolactic fermentation in new and 2nd fill 225L French oak barrels. After malolactic fermentation the wine was racked, following three months of resting in the barrels it was racked again and matured in barrels for a further 18 months. The wine spent an overall of 21 months in barrels. Winemakers hand selected and blended only the best barrels.

Enjoy Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage with flavourful meaty and spicy dishes like loin of venison, lamb kebabs or sous vide duck leg.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

The Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage is a tribute to the world’s first bottled Pinotage, a 1959 Lanzerac Pinotage. Beautiful aromas of plum and cherries are prominent. Complex and velvety palate, then with a layered and lingering after-taste.
