Sip, Swirl, Celebrate: Pinotage Turns 100 at Jack@SKYE Rooftop Bar at The Hyde Hotel

If you’re a wine lover with a soft spot for sunsets and skyline views, then Jack@SKYE at The Hyde Hotel just became your new happy place.

And they’ve got something special on the pour—because South Africa’s beloved Pinotage is turning 100, and you’re invited to the celebration.

From now until 4 May 2025, you can join Bruce Jack Wines for a guided tasting that’s all about honouring this homegrown varietal in the most delicious way possible. For just R75, guests get to taste three distinct expressions of Pinotage:

🍷 The smooth and sippable Daily Brew Pinotage
🍷 The bold and broody Pinotage Malbec
🍷 The showstopper Reserve Pinotage—rich, complex, and totally worth savouring

Set on a breezy rooftop with views of Lion’s Head and the Atlantic, this isn’t your average wine tasting—it’s a laid-back, taste-bud-tingling journey through a century of local wine heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned sipper or just Pinotage-curious, this is your chance to drink in a little history (literally), learn a thing or two, and toast to a grape that put South Africa on the wine map.
