Stellenbosch University (SU) released a Pinotage as part of the commemoration of its Centenary. Only 2 200 bottles of limited ‘Eeufees Pinotage’, the official centenary wine, were bottled by SU’s Welgevallen cellar. Each bottle was individually numbered.
According to Riaan Wassung, winemaker at the Welgevallen cellar, the wine was made from the best Pinotage vines of Welgevallen and is therefore of excellent quality, with a dark ruby colour. The wine has intense berry and forest floor aromas, with subtle spiciness, which originates from the oak. The wine is full-bodied, with a firm but soft tannin structure, good acidity and a lingering aftertaste.
