False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage 750ml 13.5% (2021, South Africa)
False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage is a South African red wine from the W.O. Coastal Region, made from bush-vine Pinotage and bottled at 13.5% ABV. The 2021 vintage comes in a 750ml bottle and reflects False Bay’s focus on old, dry-farmed coastal vineyards. 🍇 The vines are not irrigated or intensively cropped; instead, they grow in a demanding natural coastal environment.
False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage is made with wild fermentation: the wine ferments with yeasts naturally present in the vineyard rather than with added yeasts. It is also cask-aged, adding another stage to the wine’s development. The producer describes the result as more “Pinot” than “Tige” — a Pinotage with elegance rather than heaviness, designed to remain easy to enjoy for more than a single glass.
🍷 The wine is sustainably farmed and made, grown and bottled in South Africa. Its personality is defined by the fruit of old coastal vines, natural fermentation and measured maturation rather than by excessive intervention. This makes it a thoughtful choice for drinkers who value a lighter-footed, balanced expression of Pinotage while still wanting the varietal’s unmistakable South African identity.
False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and contains sulphites. Its 750ml format suits a meal, a relaxed evening or a wine-focused gift. The back label does not specify serving temperature, food pairing or detailed tasting notes, so those are intentionally not claimed here.
