OBIKWA, the adventurous range of cultivar wines known for their sense of fun and exceptional value for money, has released a brand new varietal – a wonderfully fruity Pinotage brimming with blackberries, plums and strawberries.
Both pocket friendly and easy on the palate, new OBIKWA Pinotage has already made major strides on home turf with a Best Value Award in the 2011 Wine Magazine Best Value Wine Guide for wines priced under R60 a bottle.
In addition to offering great value for money, OBIKWA has become a trail blazer for eco-friendly wines as the first South African wine to switch to ultra-light weight 350g Consol glass bottles in a concerted effort to minimise its carbon footprint and reduce its impact on the environment. Embracing the spirit of the indigenous OBIKWA people whose close affinity to nature gave them instinctive wisdom to touch the earth lightly, OBIKWA’s new light weight 350g glass bottles are now 100g lighter than before.
Medium bodied, smooth and fruity, OBIKWA Pinotage is an affordable, gentle red to drink on its own or to enjoy with hearty poultry, red meat or pasta dishes.
OBIKWA is a down-to-earth range of easy drinking, quality cultivar wines expressing their true varietal character and rich, ethnic charm at an affordable price. The 750 ml bottles sell at around R27 at leading outlets country-wide.
Taste the new Pinotage and the full range of OBIKWA wines at the Mercury Wine Week at the Sun Coast Casino and Entertainment World in Kwazulu Natal from 24 – 26 August 2011.Click here for more information on Obikwa Wines
