2022 Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage

The Lanzerac Pionier Pinotage is a tribute to the world’s first bottled Pinotage: a 1959 Lanzerac Pinotage.

Tasting Note: 2022 Pionier has an excellent deep colour, with typical varietal aromas like ripe, plummy red fruit on the nose and palate. A big mouth-feel, complex and velvety pallet and long and lingering aftertaste rounds off this wine perfectly. With 5 to 10 years maturation the Pionier Pinotage 2022 will start to acquire the velvet density and luxurious chocolate and caramel flavours for which its predecessors is known.

Pairing Suggestion:  Loin of venison with confit potato and juniper jus, lamb boti Kabab with pounded spices and yogurt marinade or Sous vide duck leg with bulgur wheat and cherries.

Origin: Stellenbosch, South Africa
