Tasting CharacteristicsCultivated on the highest granite slopes of the Paardeberg mountain in the Swartland region, Babylon’s Peak Pinotage 2021 comes from dry-land bushvines planted at elevation (~700 m) on decomposed granite soils. The hand-harvested grapes undergo cold maceration, native yeast fermentation, malolactic in barrel and about ten months ageing in French oak. The result: an intensely expressive Pinotage with character and polish rather than rustic excess.
Aromas and flavours:
Primary
Aroma / Nose: Deep ruby colour. Aromas of ripe plums, blackberry, mocha and subtle cedary oak. Also faint tobacco leaf, warm spice and granite dust in the background.
Secondary
Palate / Taste: Full-bodied, mouth-coating yet balanced. Flavours of black fruit compote (blackberry, dark cherry), dark chocolate, and warm spice (clove, cinnamon) merge with firm but smooth tannins. A strong mineral thread—granite/stone—runs through the palate and lifts the richness.
Tertiary
Finish: Long and persistent: the dark fruit lingers, oak-derived cocoa and vanilla notes fade into a mineral echo, and a refined tannin grip invites continued sipping.
GastronomyServe at 16-18 С after decanting 20-30 minutes to allow the depth to open. This wine pairs superbly with flavourful grilled meats (South African braai-style beef or lamb chops), slow-braised oxtail or beef ragu, as well as aged hard cheeses (mature Gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano). The dark-fruit richness, firm yet polished tannins and underlying minerality make it ideal for dishes with spice, herb crusts or charred textures. Following pairing principles emphasising balance of fruit, tannin, acid and mineral context.
