The winemakers of the Durbanville Wine Valley presented a celebration of the depth, diversity and terroir-driven character of the valley’s red wines at the Taste of Terroir Red Wine Soir\u00e9e last Friday evening at the Loch Lynne Wine Estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It marked a historic event when the Durbanville Wine Valley launched the limited-release collaborated pinotage wine, a 1,5 litre magnum bottle crafted by wine producers of the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New winery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ten producers took part, including Nitida, Meerendal, Maastricht, De Grendel, Diemersdal, Durbanville Hills, Klein Roosboom, Groot Phesantekraal, D’Aria and Mellish, a new winery by the Mellish family who recently joined the Durbanville Wine Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine commemorates three centenaries — the founding of pinotage when the first seeds were planted in 1925, the 100th celebration of Afrikaans as an official language and Durbanville’s own 200-year milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine is available at all Durbanville tasting rooms and online at www.durbanvillewine.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
