In a world where tradition meets bold innovation, the team behind this exceptional wine is redefining heritage with a modern twist. With deep roots that trace back centuries in the heart of Stellenbosch, they believe that every bottle should tell a story of passion, perseverance, and community commitment. Their philosophy is simple: work in harmony with nature, select only the finest grapes, and support future generations, donating R100 from every bottle to the Protégé Programme.

Aliquid Novi Pinotage 2022 is a captivating expression of resilience and innovation from the legendary Perold Vineyard. The name, derived from Pliny the Elder’s adage "ex Africa semper aliquid novi" (something new always comes out of Africa), perfectly captures the wine's spirit of reinvention and discovery.

With only 1,000 bottles released annually, each purchase supports the Protégé Programme, reinforcing their pledge to nurture future talent while honouring time-honoured viticultural methods.

Hand-harvested from vines meticulously cultivated in a half-moon pattern, the grapes of Aliquid Novi are carefully selected and processed to preserve their delicate complexity. The wine is crafted to be elegant yet vibrant, capturing nuances reminiscent of Pinot Noir while retaining the unique soul of a classic Pinotage.

Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with grilled meats, hearty stews, or a platter of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie.

Tasting Note: Deep in colour with a nose of ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and a hint of earthiness. The palate is nuanced, balanced, and elegantly complex with a lingering finish.
