One South African original. Two ways to enjoy it. 🍷🇿🇦

This Saturday, 10 October, we’re celebrating International Pinotage Day - Duke style!

Born in South Africa in 1925, Pinotage began when Professor Abraham Izak Perold crossed Pinot Noir with Cinsaut, then known locally as Hermitage. More than a century later, this proudly homegrown grape gives us plenty to celebrate, including its ability to surprise.

Meet our two expressions:

Duke Pinotage brings plum, mulberry and black cherry flavours, with a touch of spice.

Duke White Pinotage offers a different take, with cherry, raspberry and peach notes. Serve it chilled for those sunny spring afternoons.

Produced by Wellington W**es, both bring plenty of character in the relaxed, easy-drinking style that makes Duke feel right at home at your table.

Whether you’re lighting the braai, sharing a leisurely lunch or trying something new, make room for a little South African heritage.

And why stop at Saturday? Keep celebrating Pinotage throughout October, one delicious occasion at a time.

Absolutely thrilled to share this beautiful review of our Duke Merlot 2024 by My Boozy Kitchen.

Described as dense, deep ruby red in the glass, this Merlot delivers layers of ripe plum, raspberry, warm oak spice and a savoury hint of smoky bacon rind - making it feel wonderfully wintery and complex.

On the palate, expect rich black cherry compote, cured meats, a delicate touch of chocolate and baking spice, supported by fine, granular tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is dry and lingering, with oak-kissed tart berry fruit.

“It’s balance, structure, and pure comfort in a glass.”

A heartfelt thank you to My Boozy Kitchen for the wonderful review and for capturing the character of this w**e so beautifully.

Duke Merlot 2024 - made for slow-cooked meals, cosy evenings and winter comfort in every glass.

Available from our online store and tasting room for only R80 per bottle (W**e Club members pay R72!)

Some w**es wait for a special occasion. Duke Chenin Blanc makes Thursday feel like one.

Fresh, easy-drinking, and ready to pull its weight at the dinner table, this is the bottle you open when the chicken is golden, the salad is crisp, and everyone has somehow ended up in the kitchen.

No fuss. No ceremony. Just good food, good people, and a Duke that knows exactly where it belongs.
