Corbans 1967 Pinotage



As readers of my book will know, New Zealand has been making Pinotage for almost as long as South Africa.

Corbans were the first to release a varietal NZ Pinotage and though this label is not from that earliest vintage it is evidence of New Zealand's long history with the variety.

Thanks to Sue Courtney of www.wineoftheweek.com who successfully bidded for the label, on my behalf, from a NZ auction site.

  1. Interesting to see the "www.pinotage.org" on the label. Corbans showed great foresight not only with the varietal, but also with a web address in 1967.................! LOL
