Tales Pinotage 2020 £16.50
Tales Pinotage 2020 is a vibrant red wine from Swartland in the Western Cape, crafted in France’s Tales style. Sourced from ripe Pinotage fruit, it pours with a confident depth and a fruit-forward character. Expect a fresh, lively expression that immediately invites you in, setting the scene for a richly satisfying glass.
On the palate, juicy dark berries take centre stage, backed by a subtle savoury edge and a gentle note of spice that adds warmth rather than weight. The stainless-steel style of winemaking helps preserve the bright, modern fruit, while the balance keeps every sip smooth and easy to enjoy. Whether you’re planning a relaxed evening or something special at the table, this versatile red pairs beautifully with grilled meats, spicy dishes, and hearty pasta. Discover why Pinotage fans and new explorers alike keep reaching for this bottling.

France
Few would argue that France is the country that long ago set the standards by which wine is judged. There are of course exceptions; Germany's Rieslings, Spain's Sherry and Portugal's Port are examples of non-French wines that are universally accepted as models to be admired and emulated. But no other country in the world can boast anything like France's influence over the wine world's now well-established benchmarks. The wine styles produced in Champagne, Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and the Rhone have become targets that countless winegrowers around the world aim at, in the first instance by planting the same grape varieties. If you still have a bit of exploring to do before you can say you know well the world of wine, there can be no better place to start (or finish!) than France.
Western Cape
The Western Cape is home to the vast majority of the South African wine industry, and the country's two most famous wine regions, Stellenbosch and Paarl. The city of Cape Town serves as the epicentre of the Cape Winelands, a mountainous, biologically diverse area in the south-western corner of the African continent.
The Western Cape's wine regions stretch 300 kilomers (185 miles) from Cape Town to the mouth of the Olifants River in the north, and 360km (220 miles) to Mossel Bay in the east. Areas under vine are rarely more than 160km (100 miles) from the coast. Further inland, the influence of the semi-arid Great Karoo Desert takes over. The climate can be cool and rainy (as in Cape Point and Walker Bay) but is more often than not Mediterranean in nature.
