The Vintage Class category has been established with the distinct goal to showcase how well Pinotage can age.
Annual Competition
This class demonstrates that top Pinotage wines are fulfilling their promise of great maturation potential, and is open exclusively to Pinotage wines that are 10 years or older. The competition selects only six winners.
By highlighting the age-worthy Pinotage wines, the Vintage Class further advances the appeal of this uniquely South African grape.
