Sourced from old-vine Pinotage on decomposed granite and shale soils, the grapes are picked at perfect ripeness, partially fermented as whole clusters in open-top fermenters, then aged in older French oak to highlight elegance over heaviness. The result is a bright, fragrant, and textural red, bursting with red and dark berries, floral notes, and a subtle savoury undercurrent, all carried on fine tannins and a dry, mineral-tinged finish. Dorper isn’t just wine, it’s Reg Holder’s passion project, a modern, minimalist take on Pinotage that’s fresh, expressive, and full of Stellenbosch soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinoVitals \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Open \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Waiter's Friend Corkscrew\" href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/products\/corkscrew\"\u003eCorkscrew\u003c\/a\u003e required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat with \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/lamb-cutlets\" title=\"Lamb Cutlets\"\u003eLamb Cutlets\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/pork-chops\" title=\"Pork Chops\"\u003ePork Chops\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/duck-breast\" title=\"Duck Breast\"\u003eDuck Breast\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/mushroom-risotto\" title=\"Mushroom Risotto\"\u003eMushroom Risotto\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/grilled-portobello-mushrooms\" title=\"Grilled Portobello Mushrooms\"\u003eGrilled Portobello Mushrooms\u003c\/a\u003e 🥢 🍽️\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee all \u003ca title=\"South African Reds\" href=\"https:\/\/spywinesandspirits.co.uk\/collections\/south-african-reds\"\u003eSouth African Reds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718034571644,"sku":"6009900426167","price":26.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/8459\/6801\/files\/Holder_Dorper_Pinotage_Stellenbosch_South_Africa.jpg?v=1771258217"},{"product_id":"holder-dorper-chenin-blanc","title":"Holder 'Dorper' Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is South African Chenin Blanc at its most classy and delicious.
