Lanzerac estate is one of the icons of the Stellenbosch winelands, a historical and cultural landmark, reflected in the quality of its wines.
Homage to the very first Pinotage labelled as such, and released in 1959 by Lanzerac. A very special wine, boxed individually. A deep-coloured wine with aromas ripe red fruits, velvety mouth sensation, complex flavour and tannin profile with long finish, ideal for 5 to 10 years of further ageing. Grapes were hand-harvested, selected and de-stemmed, fermented with the skins for 7 days, before undergoing malolactic fermentation and maturation in new and 2nd use French oak barrels for 3 months before racking again and maturing further for 1 year and 6 months. The resultant wine, matured for a total of 21 months, was selected further and 10 barrels were selected and blended to give the final result. This intense wine goes perfectly with roast venison, spicy lamb, or duck stewed with cherries.
