Holder Dorper Pinotage
A rich and aromatic pinotage with a silky finish. Spicy red fruits and pepper.
Producer Profile
Former Delheim winemaker Reg Holder struck out on his own in 2017 and in collaboration with viticulturist Etienne Terblanche created the first Dorper Pinotage, bringing modern, sensitive winemaking and Burgundian notions of terroir to South Africa’s native variety, joined in 2020 by a steely, cool Chenin Blanc. The Pinotage especially has built a cult following, treading the line between traditional structured styles and ‘new wave’ lighter examples with real elan, and it was rated one of South Africa’s top five best Pinotages in 2022 by Tim Atkin MW.
