Dewaal

Stellenbosch Pinotage specialist in South Africa's Coastal Region.

Dewaal is a Stellenbosch winery in the Coastal Region of Western Cape, South Africa. The estate focuses on Pinotage, the country's signature red variety—a grape born from crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault that yields wines of dark fruit, spice, and mineral tension. Dewaal's Top of The Hill, a Pinotage red, demonstrates the variety's capacity for structure and depth. The winery also produces Pinotage Rosé, extending the grape's range into a dry, food-friendly expression. Both wines have been evaluated by Wine Enthusiast, reflecting the winery's engagement with serious wine criticism. Stellenbosch's clay and granite soils, combined with the region's maritime influence, create conditions suited to Pinotage's ripening demands and the development of complexity in the glass.
