Pinotage Cultivation
Pinotage is grown across the world, from Zimbabwe to New Zealand, Switzerland, Germany, the United States, and Israel. It’s birthplace, however, remains South Africa and as such this local variety is a unique and valuable instrument to market South African wines in general.
Pinotage has an inherent adaptability and the capacity to produce high grape yields under ideal cultivation conditions. There is now an established knowledge base on how to grow Pinotage vines successfully, and as such, the Pinotage producer is fortunate to have various options when choosing alternative cultivation practices, with yield control measures that will ensure an optimal crop.
