When Pinotage is grown on the foothills of the Breedekloof (Broad Valley) the soil gives the wine a distinct red cherry aroma. By fermenting the wine slowly and at cool temperatures we create a soft, almost creamy mouth feel and lots of cherry, ripe plum with hints of chocolate and a tiny mocha zing on the finish - very balanced and moreish.

This wine has a captivating dark red color; offers a mixture of fresh red fruits and notes of black fruits. These aromas are confirmed in the mouth by combining with tannins melted into a fleshy and suave structure. The brew leaves a balanced finish mixing spices and fruits, leaving you with a travel impression in one sip. To be enjoyed on roast poultry or a pâté in the crust for example.

Deep purple in colour with crimson hues. Fragrant cassis, ripe  plum with hints of mint and subtle cedar oak aromas.

This wine has the flavour, structure and balance  to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further  cellaring. 

Intense purple coloured wine with some violet hues. Pleasant aromas of red berries, cherries and grapes marked with notes of candy and vanilla that result after maturing n in American oak for 12 months (Bourbon barrels of 200 l. capacity). On the palate, this wine displays a gentle entrance with soft tannins that give creaminess, volume and fleshiness. Flavours of ripe and candied fruit are perfectly combined with the notes of smoke provided the oak toast, leaving a long and persistent finish.

Deeply bright red colour with a complex and structured bouquet. Blackberries and forest berries are pronounced on the nose, while hints of violet and ethereal balsamic scents linger in the background. Fruity and round on the palate with well-balanced tannins. It’s the perfect complement to tasty first courses, braised, roasted and sautéed meats and medium-seasoned cheeses.

Why do we call our wines “Le Grand Noir”? Our black sheep logo gives one clue - we are rather unconventional wine makers. The original Grand Noir - “Big Black” was a priest of the Cathar religion, in the region of Carcassonne. The Cathars were heretics - a breakaway group from the Catholic Church of the day, who has some very unconventional views.

This GSM (Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvedre) blend offers intense aromas of spicy blackberry, dark plum, licorice, cocoa, and spice. On the palate, it is rich and complex with soft tannins.
