The gardens are in full bloom, the vines are budding, and the air is filled with the scent of fresh new life as the earth awakens. Everywhere, we feel the vibrant energy of nature, inviting us to immerse ourselves in moments of celebration this month.
As Lanzerac welcomes the new season and honours a legacy dating back to 1959, we raise a glass to the proudly South African variety – Pinotage.
Celebrating 65 years of Pinotage

One of South Africa’s signature wines, Pinotage, was discovered on our very own doorstep by Professor Abraham Izak Perold, the first Professor of Viticulture at the University of Stellenbosch.
It was in 1925 that he cross-pollinated Pinot Noir and Cinsaut, and in 1961 the world’s first commercially available Pinotage was released under the Lanzerac label.
Celebrate 65 years with us this Pinotage Month with case deals on our Jonkershoek Range Pinotage and Pinotage Rosé.
