The main Mellasat label is represented through the flagship blend Mellasat “M” and is joined by the premium White Pinotage, made in a very unique style and the classical barrel fermented Chardonnay. The Tempranillo and the Viognier form part of "Premium " collection under this range due to the small volumes of these wines made.
The world’s first White Pinotage! Our first vintage of this wine was in 2007. “The paradox of this wine is that the eye belies the other senses! Making white wine from red grapes using South Africa’s unique Pinotage grape. Whole bunch pressing prevented the juice from obtaining colour from the skins. Barrel fermented and matured for eleven months with lees stirring gives this wine a slightly creamy, nutty character to balance the tropical pineapple fruit and banana flavours.”

“A classic barrel fermented wine made from this noble variety. Further maturation in French oak barrels for eleven months together with batonnage (lees stirring) gives this wine a suppleness on the palate balanced with citrus zest and almondine brioche. This wine can be enjoyed now or aged further if required.”

An unfortified dessert wine, only made in certain vintages, from partially sun dried grapes that are subsequently air dried on racks to concentrate the sugars. Using Chenin Blanc bush vines that are over three decades old the wine was barrel fermented and matured for two years in an American oak barrel. With hints of matured marmalade leading to honeyed apricots makes this delectable wine ideal to drink with either sweet or savoury food.
