Tasting notes
The Basson Pinotage from Winery Anthonij Rupert is a rich and fruity-heavy red wine.
On the nose, elegant aromas of dark plum and a spice blend are revealed. The palate is enveloped by aromas of cloves and a spicy smoky note.The finish of this robust Pinotage is long-lasting and structuredt.
Grape variety Pinotage
Pinotage is the flagship of South African viticulture. The grape variety has its origin in South Africa. Even today, almost a hundred years after its creation, Pinotage is grown almost exclusively in South Africa.
Pinotage exhibits an incredible diversity. Its styles range from coffee & Chocolate to plum & banana aromas. Thus, Pinotage is a true all-rounder. This is evident in the increased use of the Pinotage grape in cuvées, blends, and also in rosé wines. Even white wines (Blanc-de-Noir) are produced from Pinotage.
The story of Pinotage begins with its creator, Prof. Abraham Izak Perold. After his professorship in 1906, Perold was sent on a mission by the government in Cape Town to search for new grape varieties.
In 1925, Perold successfully crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsaut, which was then known as Hermitage, for the first time. Hence the name PINO - TAGE.
Matches
The Basson Pinotage is best served with spicy grilled food from the Winery Anthonij Rupert.
Furthermore, this full-bodied red wine is an excellent companion to roast pork.

Switzerland - Shipping to the German border area
A cheaper and not much more complex alternative is to have the wine delivered to the German border area and do the customs clearance yourself. You will then receive the German VAT back, have an allowance of 5 liters per person and pay 2 CHF duty for each additional liter.
We also deliver free of charge within Germany for orders over €120. Furthermore, you don't have to coordinate with the courier and make sure someone is there once the delivery arrives.
If you don't have the opportunity to have the goods delivered to friends in the border area, then we can have the wine delivered to a UPS access point near the border near your home. You don't need to register, there are no additional costs and you just have to pick up your wines there within a certain time frame.
There are also various providers of parcel shops from which you can have your parcel picked up for a small fee, e.g. SWISS-PAKET - with branches in Waldshut-Tiengen, Laufenburg, Weil am Rhein, Jestetten & Rheinfelden or EURORETOUR - with branches in Waldshut- Tiengen, Laufenburg, Weil am Rhein & Konstanz.
Upon request, we will send an export receipt, which you can have stamped at customs and sent back to us. We will then refund you the German VAT minus a processing fee of €12.00.
Please note the opening hours of the customs offices! The customs offices usually close on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. and are closed on Sunday! For more information about opening times and customs clearance see https://www.ezv.admin.ch.
To declare customs, you just drive to the right at the border. You can also easily skip the customs queue and pay with an EC card.
The officials are friendly and you can also get competent information over the phone.
Please note that this form of reimbursement involves costs and effort. Therefore, we generally deduct €12.00 from the VAT amount to be reimbursed for this expense.
Taxes, duties and levies in the EU
All taxes, customs duties and duties for Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Cyprus (Greek part only) are included in our prices .
The following countries levy an excise tax on wine (as of May 2021): Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Poland. Due to their transport within the EU internal market, postal items from European Union countries are regularly not processed by the customs administration. These shipments are therefore generally delivered directly to you without any import taxes being charged. However, this does not mean that the goods are generally duty-free. Under certain conditions, postal items transported within the EU may also be checked. To this end, the customs authorities are allowed to have postal items opened and check whether they contain goods that are subject to excise duty or whose import, transit or export violate legal prohibitions and restrictions. The secrecy of letters and mail is restricted in this respect. If you receive goods subject to excise duty, you are generally obliged to report this to the responsible customs office and pay duties if necessary.
Due to legal regulations, we only deliver to people over 18 years of age. This can be checked by our shipping agent. Therefore, please make sure that an adult can accept the delivery.
