Francois van Niekerk Pinotage has earned yet another Platter’s 5-star award, this time for the 2022 vintage, proving that consistency, passion, and exceptional terroir create magic in every bottle. I’m overjoyed, as this recognition fuels my love for crafting wines that truly reflect the land.
“Another stylish expression by the maestro, 2022 again effortlessly marries generosity with refinement, the waves of dark plum, hedgerow berries, coriander, spice & smoke matched with impeccably managed tannins & oaking, 70% new barrique, 2 years, that will support 10+ years evolution. Decant in youth. Only 867 cases & some magnums.” – Winnie Bowman, Platter Taster
