An Invitation to Own a Legacy
Celebrating 100 Years of Pinotage & 25 Years of OntbytSAKE
Some stories shape who we are.
Pinotage is one of them – a cultivar born from South African soil, resilience, and innovation, now celebrated around the world.
To honour this centenary, The Cape Mint has created a series of medallions that do more than commemorate history. They preserve it.
Forged in precious metal and crafted with reverence, each piece captures the spirit of Pinotage for future generations.
In celebration of OntbytSAKE’s 25 years on air, we extend a limited offer to viewers to become custodians of this legacy.
A Century In The Making
From a humble beginning in 1925 to global recognition, Pinotage is a story of perseverance, originality and South African ingenuity.
Like the wine itself, this medallion series has been shaped with time, patience and mastery. Each detail, from the proof finish to the iconic “engeltje pipi” mark, reflects a lineage of craftsmanship that will endure long after the moment has passed.
This is more than a collectible.
It is a tangible link between past and future, held in silver and gold.
“This medallion is a symbol of everything Pinotage stands for – resilience, originality, and a future rooted in excellence.”
— Beyers Truter, Chairman, Pinotage Association
A World First
The Only Medallion in History to Hold Wine
In a world-first achievement, the 1kg Silver Medallion preserves actual Grand Pinotage wine within its design — a poetic gesture to the aging potential and timeless character of the cultivar.
For decades to come, the wine enclosed will remain untouched, a quiet reminder of the year we celebrated a century of Pinotage and the craftsmanship of South Africa’s oldest private Mint.
Only 100 will ever exist.
Only 25 are available through this invitation.
“To celebrate the centenary of Pinotage in metal is to treasure our national story.”
— Natanya van Niekerk, MD, The Cape Mint
Precious metal collecting has always been about more than value.
It is about stewardship.
Gold and silver endure beyond lifetimes, carrying with them the stories of those who shaped them and those who cared enough to preserve them.
By acquiring a medallion from this series, you become part of the narrative — ensuring that this moment in our cultural heritage is not only remembered, but cherished.
This is an heirloom to pass down.
A piece of South African heritage that will speak long after we are gone.
A Special Invitation for OntbySAKE Viewers

— Bennie Howard, Cape Wine Master
