My Wine of The Month for August is Reign of Terroir Pinotage 2025 WO Swartland. It's the only Pinotage I drank in August that I've not previously had, and it was on the list of the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Bristol.
It has a clever name and snazzy label and is rather vague about which winery produced it. But the back label names the winemaker as Leon Esterhuizen who works at Journeys End and the A922 number identifies that as the producer.
It's only 12.5% ABV, designed I assume to avoid taxes related to alcohol levels.
It's a clean, bright fruity wine, but I wouldn't guess it was Pinotage. It didn't have any faults, but for me it didn't seem to have any character either.
