About this Item

Pinotage Limited Release, 2007
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Purchased in December 1980 by the Coetzee family, Vriesenhof is situated at the base of the Stellenbosch Mountain and is often regarded as the best-kept secret on the Stellenbosch wine route. Legendary winemaker and Springbok Jan ‘Boland’ Coetzee is synonymous with the property and gained valuable experience in Burgundy before becoming one of SA’s top Pinot Noir producers. Produced in a rich, powerful style, the classic wines require age to show they best.

Critics Ratings

'Savoury, shy nose opens with olives and forest floor. Exposure to air reveals the inner perfume of red currants, lavender and tar. This wine fully deserves decanting and enjoying what it has to offer over the course of a few hours. It is light and elegant, while also holding lasting intensity and deep perfume. Like a muscular, savoury Burgundy, the 2007 Limited Release finishes mouth-wateringly dry. Rewarding drinking now but can also keep longer term.' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 93/100
