Boland Cellar Classic Selection Pinotage is a fruit-driven South African red wine that showcases the distinctive character of Pinotage, South Africa's signature red grape variety. Ripe plum and berry flavours lead the palate, supported by soft tannins and a smooth, rounded texture.
This Paarl Pinotage offers an accessible expression of the variety, focusing on ripe fruit and balance rather than heavy oak or excessive richness. The result is a versatile red wine that captures the classic character of Pinotage while remaining easy to enjoy across a range of occasions.
Classic Selection Pinotage is a great choice for anyone looking to discover South African Pinotage or add an affordable, food-friendly red to their wine collection.

The Range
The Classic Selection range of prime cultivar-specific wines comprises distinct, carefully blended wines from different parts of the renowned Paarl wine region. The style is marked by climatic and maritime influences of the nearby ocean and the Boland mountains that result in fresh, fruit-driven wines reflecting typical varietal character and flavour.
The Vineyards
Our vineyards are situated in diverse climatic zones in and around the prime Paarl region, including the warmer Paardeberg and cooler coastal areas of Philadelphia and Klein Drakenstein. Vineyards are predominantly on northern slopes, resulting in a fruit-driven wine. The grapes ripened at different times, illustrating the temperature diversity between the three climatic zones.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested at an ideal ripeness of approximately 25 to 26 degrees Balling, followed by de-stemming and cold-soaking for 24 hours. Fermentation started after commercial yeast was added and lasted for fourteen days. The wine then went through malolactic fermentation in steel tanks and second-fill barrels, ensuring a softening of the phenolic compounds and resulting in an elegant smoothness on the palate.
Wine and Food Pairings
This elegant Pinotage shows layers of plum and berry fruit on the palate. An elegant wine with typical Pinotage flavours. Delicious with red meat dishes, pasta & pizza or simply on its own.
