Winemaker Jolandie Fouché established Wolf \u0026amp; Woman to showcase the authentic character of dry-farmed Swartland vineyards through a minimal-intervention lens.

Sourced from old bush vines planted on decomposed granite and iron-rich soils, the grapes benefit from low yields that offer incredible natural balance and concentration. Vinified thoughtfully with partial whole-bunch fermentation and aged in neutral vessels, it delivers an energetic, red-fruited profile filled with wild berries, floral nuances, and lithe structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested from mature, dry-farmed bush vine blocks across the Swartland. At the winery, a portion of the fruit is fermented as whole clusters, while the rest is gently destemmed into open-top fermenters. Spontaneous fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, accompanied by light manual punch-downs to ensure delicate extraction of colour and fine-grained tannins. The wine matures for several months in seasoned French oak barrels and concrete vessels before being bottled with minimal sulfur additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a radiant ruby colour. The nose is lifted and aromatic, bursting with scents of fresh red cherry, wild raspberry, and pomegranate, interwoven with subtle hints of rooibos tea, dried herbs, white pepper, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, bright, and supple, delivering juicy red fruit flavours supported by fine, chalky tannins and a lively beam of natural acidity that leads to a clean, elegant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its bright red fruit character, fresh acidity, and supple tannin profile, this modern South African red is wonderfully adaptable with food. It pairs magnificently with roasted duck breast, grilled lamb chops, seared pork tenderloin, and braised chicken. It is also an outstanding match for wild mushroom tarts, cured meats, and medium-aged cheeses such as Gruyère or Gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinotage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55230896931159,"sku":"123135","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Wolf-and-Woman-Pinotage-2023-75cl.jpg?v=1791197008","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/wolf-woman-pinotage-2024-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
