Le vignoble de Stellenbosch est selon Michel Laroche le plus beau et le plus spectaculaire au monde ! Un cépage singulier y trouve sa plénitude : le Pinotage, pour donner un vin intense et complexe, pourvu d’une belle persistance aromatique. Une belle expression du terroir, sublimée par la touche et le style Laroche !
