Barista Coffee Pinotage is South Africa’s boldest mash-up of wine and espresso culture.
Crafted by winemaker Bertus “Starbucks” Fourie, the pioneer of the coffee Pinotage style, this Western Cape red bursts with aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and toasted oak, wrapped around ripe notes of mulberry, plum, and maraschino cherry. On the palate, it’s plush and approachable, with mocha, vanilla, and juicy red fruit balanced by soft tannins. The finish is smooth yet indulgent, making it a playful partner for dishes like crispy pork belly, braised lamb, or even cheeky dessert pairings like brandy-snap baskets with gorgonzola and cherry ice cream. Accessible, modern, and unmistakably South African, Barista Pinotage is a crowd-pleaser that sparks conversation as much as it satisfies the senses.
