Think you know Pinotage? Think again. Join Wine N Things for an eye-opening exploration of South Africa’s signature grape. Hosted by winemaker and educator Kyle Oosterberg, we’re breaking the myths and showcasing the massive evolution of this home-grown variety.

We’ve curated a “style-climb” of six wines. We’ll start with a surprising 8% ABV style, move through the best-loved crowd-pleasers, and finish with a showdown between the traditional heavyweights and the modern icons.

The Lineup: A Journey through the Styles

The “New Wave”: Fresh & Light

• Wine 1 – Bellingham Light Pinotage 2019: A game-changer at just 8% ABV. Bright, crunchy, and proof that Pinotage can be incredibly refreshing.

The Crowd-Pleasers: Approachable & Soulful

• Wine 2 – Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2023: The “Accessible Classic.” A fruit-forward favorite that perfectly introduces the Kanonkop pedigree.
• Wine 3 – Bellingham Homestead Pinotage 2021: The “Modern Entry.” Smooth, juicy, and polished for everyday enjoyment.

The Icons: Power, Quality & Craft

• Wine 4 – Kanonkop Estate Pinotage 2022: The “Classic & Traditional.” A powerhouse from a legendary estate. Deep, structured, and the gold standard for traditional Pinotage.
• Wine 5 – Bellingham The Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage 2022: The “Modern Frontier.” Sourced from old bush vines; clean, sophisticated, and incredibly refined.
• Wine 6 – Beeslaar Pinotage 2023: The “Best of Both Worlds.” From arguably the world’s most famous Pinotage winemaker. This is a masterclass in balance, blending traditional soul with modern precision.

The Vibe

We’ve stripped away the “stuffiness” and pretentiousness often found in formal classes. This is a chance for like-minded people to come together for great wine and even better company.

Whether you already have a favorite bottle or you’re just looking to find one, you’re more than welcome here. No “wine-speak” required—just a fun, casual setting to enjoy what wine is really all about, and perhaps to learn a thing or two along the way.
