Congratulations to the ten outstanding wines named in the 2026 Absa Top 10 Pinotage Competition, showcasing the diversity, character and continued evolution of South Africa’s very own Pinotage.
Born in 1925 from Prof A. Perold’s successful crossing of Cinsaut (Hermitage) and Pinot Noir, Pinotage has developed into a uniquely South African cultivar with a story and identity all its own.
To the winning producers and everyone behind these wines - well done!
At ESPÍRITO Brands, we love discovering the stories behind exceptional South African wines and exploring opportunities to bring more of them to the Namibian market.
Cheers to the Winners of the Absa Top 10 Pinotage Competition 2026!
