My Wine of the Month
for November is Stettyn Pinotage 2023 (WO Stettyn). I was alerted to this wine
by Dan who’d had it with lunch at My Couzens Family Restaurant in Gordon’s Bay
during our all too short stay in the Cape in November.
I thought I knew all
the Wine of Origin appellations, but I’d never heard of Stettyn or the winery
of the same name. A few days later I saw Stettyn Pinotage on a shelf at Houw Hoek Farm Stall near Bot Rivier and had to buy. We
consumed it the following night with a steak at Spur, and jolly enjoyable it
was too.
There were plummy tones
together with some blackberry flavours bound together with soft tannins. A
quaffer that went perfectly with our steaks and the only disappointment was that I
didn’t buy more bottles. This was a very young wine and I wonder what it’d be
like with a bit more ageing.
We planned to visit the winery but ran out of time. It’s located on the R43 between Villiersdorp and Worcester. Next time.
